Thank you Maria. I have never heard of a private nurse or the equivalent aid being used in hospitals here in Canada, and was interested in how different it might be across the border.

I will check with the hospital and their policy regarding this. I certainly don't want to step on any toes, and that's why I was checking on here beforehand with patients who may have already gone through it.

Again, thanks for taking the time to explain things.
