I am currently a nursing student at California State University, San Bernardino. I enjoy spending time with family, gardening, reading, and volunteering with Coyote Nurses, a nursing student organization at CSUSB. I chose to pursue a career in nursing and become a caregiver because I have always loved helping people, especially those who need it the most. I enjoy giving my time to others, and offering support. Back in 2010, my Grandpa passed away. My family and I were the primary caregivers for him for about two weeks before his passing. I realized then that I wanted to commit my life to not only helping patients, but their families as well. That was the moment I knew I wanted to be a nurse. The thing I like most about being a caregiver is the personal fulfillment I feel after caring for someone. I finish my task and/or shift knowing I made a difference, even if it doesn't feel like it! One personal achievement I am proud of is entering my last year of nursing school! I will graduate with a Bachelors of Science in Nursing in June 2016. Nursing school took a lot of commitment, hard work, and perseverance. That's something I will always be proud of.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
