Offering my services as an at home nurse for patients
« on: December 29, 2023, 02:52:31 PM »

(Ideally for Paley or Rozburch patients)
Hi, I'm not sure if this is the appropriate place to post this. But I figured it is worth a shot. I am a former patient of Dr. Paley and during the lengthening/consolidation process, my father was only able to be there for a brief time. I hired a home health aide to help with meals, stretching, going to the bathroom, etc. As good as she was, the whole ordeal was, understandably, such a foreign concept to her and she was not able to cater to my individual needs as much as I would have liked.

And so, that's where I come in. Having been through the process myself, I know what it is that patients need in order to be cared for appropriately. I can help with stretching, meals, etc. I know the intricacies of what patients are going through and can ease the process to a great extent.
I am getting certified to become a CNA this coming Spring, at which point I could officially become a Home Health Aide.

I will say this as well: my main motivation for wanting to do this is because I know how difficult and frightening the whole ordeal can be. I would like to give back to this community and to people who have felt what I once felt by helping in whatever capacity I can.

Ideally, I would be available to patients undergoing surgery beginning around early May until late July. Thanks in advance to anyone who takes their time to read this.

What types of rates would you charge? So you'd no longer be available come August?

We could work out the logistics directly. And I possibly could be available come August. Sorry, everything is somewhat in the very basic planning stages.

I live on the east coast and I don't know specifically how much I would charge yet, but I could negotiate something with anyone who is interested and I'm sure we could come up with something reasonable
