About
Hi! My name is Nakeba Francis. I am an Entry-level Certified Medical Assistant. I will be graduating April, 2017 receiving my Associates Degree in Medical Specialties. I have chosen this field because I have always been interested in healthcare, and how physicians, nurses, and other healthcare providers work to heal, help, and save people. I have witnessed the caring nurture from a provider to his patient. Yes, that patient is me. One thing that really stayed with me was the compassion and their nurturing souls. All I had to do was trust and believe. They worked closely together to ensure I was well taken care of. That feeling will never die. From that day, I knew I wanted to be a part of an organization that allowed me to assist with patient care. I enjoy being there for people, it's a natural instinct. Doing something I believe in, makes it so much easier for me to properly maintain the necessary skills I need and demonstrate them with integrity.
