I am very attentive to the details and needs of the family and patient. I am careful with following instructions. I am a very loving, caring person and I get attached to my patients easily as if they are family. I feel care giving/nursing is God's work. Also, I believe in caring for people, giving them their dignity in their last years of their lives, and I am fulfilling a divine purpose in life for me. I enjoy most the companionship, keeping the patient's dignity and cleanliness, and giving them comfort, care and a feeling that they are not alone. Being there for them. I cared for a dying woman and we had the worst snow storm in Lancaster County. She passed away that night and the undertaker was called. We had to even shovel the snow to open up the driveway. I helped the family do that. This was beyond the call of duty, but I felt that I could do anything to help them out. I worked outside of the required time and the agency gave me a letter of recognition for going above and beyond the call of duty. I also cared for a family, a husband and wife team, for eleven years until they went to a nursing home. Their children were doctors and nurses. They really appreciated everything that I did for their parents.
