Although I can understand the desire to have a paid nurse for those elderly that need that kind of constant medical attention, I also try to put myself in their shoes and think would I want just another medical person to keep me company when they probably visit the doctors office on a regular basis and would like to talk about something different than their illness or what medications they should be taking. I have many friends in the nursing field and as compassionate as they are they do not go the extra mile to remember their clients birthdays or cheer them up with a little gift made from the heart. They are too caught up in making sure they do everything by the book rather than spend that time chatting it up and engaging in warm conversation.
I also understand the money concern also. I am not looking to open a business just to rake in the dough of some defenseless person. I make $20 dollars a day right now and just look for something to cover my gas and make a little extra so I can quit a job that isn't flexible with staying home with my daughter. I believe that people spend money on way more extravagant purchases than that such as fast food joints, name brand clothing, etc.
But aside from that thank you again 195Austin for your positive encouragement.
