I have a question for you...I know you aren't happy with the places where you work due to management and coworkers and such, but I haven't heard you complain about the residents you care for. Do you like what you do?
I worked briefly in a care facility when I was in my late teens and found out quickly that I was not really cut out for that sort of work though I met some really interesting people. I liked the residents for the most part, but it just wasn't for me.
I tend to not have an issue with the residents, most of whom I understand are not within their right minds when they lash out. I can easily ignore, by not letting it bother me, and work around that kind of elderly behavior. When it comes to the occasional resident that gets under my skin, it is the momentary rehab individual in his or her right mind who wants to be a twit with customer demand syndrome.
But yes, my problems with most facilities is the hovering supervisors and management, or constant nitpicking of the silliest things. Where I am now, the environment is much more relaxed.
