Nurses charge a lot of money, I'm talking like $40+ hrly. You may want to consider a non-licensed care taker which would probably be around $20 hrly.. of course make sure you hire thru a company thhat is licensed and bonded.. you done want anyone getting hurt in your home and sewing you.
Any who if you can afford a nurse go for it.. I personally can't LOL

I am pretty sure you could. But you may just need a housekeeper
