I went into the healthcare field in 1990 immediately after highschool. I was inspired by my mother, who graduated from General Hospital School of Nursing, St. Johns Newfoundland in 1967 as a registered nurse. She worked as a nurse until her death on June 7th 2023. She never formally retired. With the modern American healthcare system, it is now more about industry and business and less about quality patient care. The best compliment I could ever get from my patients, is when they say how comfortable and less fearful I made them feel.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
