1. I became a caregiver for 2 reasons. The first was simply to help others. The second reason was to break stereotypes and social expectations-when someone needs help and you can help them, it is a truly honest exchange of humanity and socioeconomic status, race, religion, etc fall to the wayside and you get to see REAL people which is such a beautiful thing. 2. The moment when your pt realizes that you truly do care about them and their well-being. 3. Getting pulses back as team lead on multiple codes and knowing that the family didn't lose a member that day. 4. I am a technology nerd.
