I am RN for a local rehab hospital, I have been a nurse for about 8 years, I've worked in several different nursing specialty including long term care. I enjoy being a caregiver because I love providing care to those who have cared for others probably their entire lives. I have had family that have required the care of other and they were absolutely wonderful so I like to "pay it forward", and be that supportive helping hand to other families who may need it. In my nursing career I've met people from all walks of life who have been so supportive and encouraging to me even during hard times the families are still so appreciative and thankful for the care provided to their loved ones.
