I am currently attending Laboure College for an RN degree. Ever since I can remember, my passion has always been in nursing. I fell in love with the idea of caring for others and I kept asking myself what would be the best fit and nursing was the first thought. I am currently working as a CNA/ HHA with home care agency; I absolutely love it. Most of the patients that I care for are dementia/Alzheimer's, disable and hospice patients and they require constant attention and constant safety measures. The patients have become almost like family to me and it makes my heart melt that I can do something to help even if it is as simple as opening a carton of milk or helping them to the bathroom.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
