I have been in the care giving fields for over 10 years, I started out at the age of 18 working as a Direct Support professional and Residential Counselor, I went on to become a care aide and I enjoyed seeing the difference I made in peoples lives ai wanted to advance my career in the field so I can be more knowledgeable on how to help people, so i first became a License Practical Nurse and now a little over a year a Registerrd Nurse. I worked in so many different departments because I'm a what you call, " a know it all". I just want to know it all so I can help others in every way I can. So I bounced around from specialties and departments to gain as much knowledge as I can. It also helps me feel confident in my work.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
