I am noivous. Mainly because I don't know anything about this new job I've just applied for. It's.. different.
At the very beginning, which was 2 years ago I thought I wanted to work with computers. When I experienced it, it sucked. So now, on Friday I have an interview at the nearest 'home'. Working as a Care Support Worker with people who suffer from Dementia. Hm.
When I was 15, I wanted to be a 'phychiatrist'. And there's something inside me that still wants to do that. I like to care for people, strangers. I don't care, *really* don't care if it involves wiping their bums for them or getting them dressed. Which is what everybody around me moans about.
"Ewwwwwww! You'll have to wipe their bums!"
Prats! Big deal. Obviously I doubt that there'll be anybody here who's had the experience of wiping an OAP's bum seeing as most of you are young-uns and can't really work as a support worker til you're 18.
Or is there?
Anybody know the stress of working with people who suffer from dementia? Or anyone in your family? I would like to more than what I already know about it.

Oh, OH, so its different for me eh NY?
Um.. no not really. I haven't started it yet. But I doubt I'll wipe your bum :D
My mother cares for an elderly couple in their home, both of whom are 90+ in years. They don't have dementia, although the woman has had a stroke. It is very tiring and gruelling work.
*claps*
Good luck.
Good luck.
I couldn't stand doing this job. Too tiring and too much effort.
