In the healthcare world, there are many people who are trying to make a difference. Nurses can be found in hospitals and other settings providing care for patients, often times saving lives. But one particular group of nurses is not typically seen by the general public- nurse patient advocates. What exactly does a Nurse Patient Advocate do? And why should you hire one? Here's what you need to know about them:
n today's society, the elderly are often considered a burden and a drain on society. The middle class elderly population is the most underserved population in healthcare and they often struggle to receive care due to their lack of financial resources. Working hard to set aside even a small nest egg for retirement keeps them from gaining access to some of the services available to keep them safe at home.
