00:03.030 --> 00:06.660
I've been doing corrections since 2015 .

00:07.440 --> 00:10.600
I started at a state facility and now

00:10.600 --> 00:14.190
I'm at a federal prison . I joined the

00:14.190 --> 00:17.060
Air Force right after I graduated

00:17.060 --> 00:19.690
college . I would say the most

00:19.700 --> 00:22.300
challenging part for me personally , as

00:22.300 --> 00:25.560
a medic is just being able to

00:26.240 --> 00:30.190
keep up with everything that I have to

00:30.190 --> 00:32.340
know as a medic because I don't do it

00:32.340 --> 00:36.120
full time on civilian side . So being

00:36.120 --> 00:38.920
both a correctional officer and a medic

00:38.930 --> 00:42.620
I think does benefit me because as a

00:42.620 --> 00:44.930
correction officer , of course we deal

00:45.100 --> 00:48.480
with a lot of sometimes we are the

00:48.490 --> 00:50.930
first responders to medical emergencies

00:50.940 --> 00:54.120
so it can help me react better in

00:54.120 --> 00:57.330
certain situations . Of course , I'm

00:57.330 --> 01:00.660
glad to be here uh to assist upstate

01:00.670 --> 01:03.670
hospital . Um I can tell that the

01:03.680 --> 01:05.870
nurses and stuff here in general are

01:05.880 --> 01:09.680
overworked and everyone is

01:09.680 --> 01:12.250
assigned a great amount of patience .

01:12.740 --> 01:15.120
So as a nursing assistant , I'm there

01:15.120 --> 01:18.750
to kind of alleviate um some of that

01:18.750 --> 01:21.160
stress that the nurses are taking on .

01:22.540 --> 01:24.207
I would like to thank upstate

01:24.207 --> 01:26.400
University hospital for being so

01:26.400 --> 01:28.750
welcoming and having us here . And of

01:28.750 --> 01:31.020
course for the charge nurse is that

01:31.020 --> 01:33.540
we've had on our floor for being so

01:33.540 --> 01:34.150
helpful
