What's your typical work day look like?
I take care of patients at nursing homes. I
awake at about 5:30am to head to work at 6:15am. I'm usually done by 5:00pm but
have more charting to do after I'm home. I round at 4 nursing homes during the
day so am driving from nursing home to nursing home in different areas of
Denver.
What's
the best thing about your job?
It's a privilege to care for people at times
when they are most vulnerable, when they are sick. It's particularly gratifying
to see patients improve their health from sickness to good health.
What's
the worst thing about your job?
It can be very stressful when there is a poor
health outcome.
