Need to hire a temp nurse?

[TravelingPatient]

Hi, I'm not a nurse. I'm just a patient. I'll be having a big surgery in Washington D.C. early December. Since I'll travel long distance to D.C. for surgery, I need someone to take me to and out of hospital after I stay at the hospital for 2 nights. I may also need someone to check on me perhaps 2 to 3 hours/day for few days after surgery. After that I should be ok on my own.

I wonder where I can find such CNA to help me. Actually, the person doesn't really need to be a CNA. S/he can just be a recent or soon to be graduate nursing student and be responsible. Obviously, I'll pay according to the local market hourly rate.

I'd appreciate any help/suggestion/recommendation/advice you may have. Thanks a lot.
