 | Nursing, psychiatric, and home health aides Description: Nursing and psychiatric aides care for patients in hospitals, nursing homes, and mental health clinics.

They report any signs or changes to doctors or nurses. Most work some weekends and evening hours. They must be strong enough to lift and move patients.
