Nursing and Psychiatric Aides

Nursing and psychiatric aides take care of all the physical or mental needs of a person.  They have to make beds,  serve meals, and help patients dress, eat, and bathe, if necessary. 

The hourly earnings of a nurse or psychiatric aide are of about $13.02.  They are usually required to have at least a high school diploma, but further education is helpful. They work primarily indoors.

This career would be great for someone who enjoys taking care of other people.
