The word caregiver-it says a lot, but then again some do the job for the money and not because they enjoy it. As a caregiver you must have a heart with love, care, respect and joy. You must enjoy your work 'coz caring for someone and making them feel better, safe and loving comes to blessings-blessings to us is our joy everyday.
My joy was taken away from me after I was a caregiver for nine years. I was called in for a disciplinary on the 22th of August 2014 for something that happened on the 10th of August. Staff that don't now me really, who work with me the first time find me as a problem and making them unhappy. "tearful-heartbreaking"
My disciplinary hearing will be on the 28-09-2014 at 8pm. Just because I refuse to help the staff!! Why???? I felt if I make you unhappy and I'm a problem to you then I must step back so you can be happy and have time to solve the problem at the same time. I know what the outcome will be and when I walk out there I never want to do nursing again. I can't work unhappy no teamwork and with no style of proper communication. I will do anything to be happy to enjoy my work but it's over-how can you find a problem with someone you don't even work with???? I say that if you have a problem with someone who is not, then go home and solve your own problem first and com back again.
Innocent people get accused of stuff all the time, in almost any profession...and every profession is practiced by people who are capable of making mistakes or being less than perfect.
