About William

I enjoy care giving. I think that's key to providing great service. Although I am a male nurse most of my private nursing clients have been female. I have years of experience and have invested a lot of time in education which I think helps also. I became an RN when my wife (also a nurse) suggested I look into it. I think I like it because I have a passion for assisting people in need. I have valuable experience that enables me to accurately report potential and existing problems to a primary care provider. I hold a BSN and have now retired my license in the state of Oregon.

My primary concern as a caregiver is to make sure that my client is able to function at the best of their ability and to make sure that they are having the highest quality of life that they are able to have. I am not only there for my client but I am also there for the family (such as: to let them go grocery shopping, are just to be another set of ears at doctor appointments or for the family. After a few days with the client and the family I begin to consider them family. I have a great amount of nurturing and empathy, some say I care to much but I give 150% to my clients and families. I enjoy order and dispensing medication, relating to my clients, enjoy the pass and working on family history. I have no parents or grandparents so my clients kind of fill these roles. I have been a first responder, EMT, CPR Instructor, nurse's aide, and medication aide. My personal achievement that I am most proud of is having a D.N.S. that I work with for a long time trust me to teach new nurse's the medication routine and to be a charge nurse. As a personal care giver the highest praise I can be given is for my client to tell me I must be an angel and that they love me.
