I work as a Certified Nurses Aide in a foster Home. I work from Wednesday at 8am through Friday until 8am. My employer pays me for 16 hours on Wednesday and Thursday. I care for 6 Alzheimer's patients alone.
shouldn't he pay me exactly by the hours; 24-hours when I work 48+ hours in a row?

As long are you are not on salary you must be paid for the hours you worked. In addition you should be paid for overtime after 40 hours of work in any single week. Employers may not choose how they wish to pay you. They are required to pay according to the laws of the state in which they are located. This is even if they are paying you per diem. Of course this is assuming that this is not an under the table job. (cash pay and no records for the government)

All the time that you are working you must be paid for. If you are merely required to "be there" but are not actually "working" then your State may have 'stand-by' or 'captive time' payment laws.
If you are asleep in the nurses bedroom then in most places you do not need to be paid. If you are up dealing with patients then you do.

Six hours? and you had to stay half-hour over? Ah...the subject concerns of an entitled young ones. the greater desirable half-hour is in all probability counted as your lunch. whether no longer, recover from it. Now, i am going living house from my sixteen:00 - 02:00 shift. i'm getting to return back and do a 20 hour shift day after today. delight in your self now, in spite of the greater desirable half-hour. It basically gets worse.
