After graduating from college with Bachelor degree in Biology I just was not sure what direction to take. Thus a nurse at an Assisted Living gave me a chance to work as a Caregiver and I have been working ever since and it's been a very rewarding 5 years experience. I always knew that I am a caring person but I was not sure which direction to take in the health care industry to take and now I know for sure what to do with the next course of my life. I have decided to get my master in Health Care Administration with specialization in Gerontology, and I hope to keep working in this industry to better myself.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
