Currently laid off from the job die to health reasons but I can start right again as soon that's solved. Nurse in an elderly home. Specifically: Taking care of the ones who are in the final stages of Alzheimer. Its a tough job and I've seen many colleagues come and go because the job was too hard mentally and physically. Can't blame them. The job is hard. I personally love it and adore the "patients". The love and friendship you get from them is why I love it so much but it can be heartbreaking at the same time. You can't help but grow a certain bond with some of them and when they die one, it really tears you apart. And that, for me, is the hardest part about it.
