I became a caregiver because I truly enjoy taking care of and helping people have a better quality of life.....I like being a caregiver for the same reasons but I also get to meet alot of really awesome people that I wouldn't have had a chance to otherwise meet....A personal achievement that I'm proud of is I quit smoking almost 2 years ago but I'm mostly proud of when I was a teenager working in a hospital I saved a womans life...Her BP was reading low I got an RN and it turned out she was going into shock...She was so busy planning her daughters wedding that she didn't take the time to go to the bathroom and when they rushed her in for surgery they removed 9 ft. of stool from her......Her and her family thanked me and that was for sure a great feeling....
