I just got accepted into the nursing program, but will not be starting until the fall. I also just got laid off my job, so I figured an entry level position into the hospital would be a patient sitter. My grandma is in the hospital alot, and all of the staff says they are in desperate need of patient sitters and to apply online. When I go online, I see nothing! Im wondering if they use a different name other than patient sitter? Also someone told me that the hospitals do not hire the sitters, that agencies do? Im so confused. I live near Detroit, Michigan, so if anyone knows any patient sitter agencies, or how to get a job as one please let me know! Thanks
