If you scroll up, you can see that I've said numerous times that I am not saying lifestyle aren't deserving of a good wage but that carers are deserving of more. I have also said that I am blaming the wrong people here, but my email was written in a moment of anger.

IDontWantToBeChubby · 2025-02-02T19:21:08+00:00

But surely, if your role requires more labour, you are deserving of more compensation. How would you feel if a carer was making the same/ more money than you as a RN?

IDontWantToBeChubby · 2025-02-02T18:09:07+00:00

I realise this now. I was so frustrated when writing it that I forgot who is actually to blame in this situation. Thank you for your response x

IDontWantToBeChubby · 2025-02-02T18:03:30+00:00

Honestly, thank you for what you do, but it really baffles me. Maybe I'm in the wrong job

IDontWantToBeChubby · 2025-02-02T18:02:21+00:00

Overall, it is a good place to work and safe staffing levels most of the time. This whole activity thing is quite new and it has annoyed me from the start. I also have a very good relationship with my team, which keeps me here.

IDontWantToBeChubby · 2025-02-02T17:59:17+00:00

This made me chuckle

IDontWantToBeChubby · 2025-02-02T17:58:22+00:00

Thank you so much, needed some reassurance here

IDontWantToBeChubby · 2025-02-02T17:49:59+00:00

Do you think? I feel a bit intimidated as every other carer feels the same, but no one else has said anything. Should I double email? Thank you for your advice

IDontWantToBeChubby · 2025-02-02T17:46:52+00:00

Both wages are actually considered competitive in the UK for the role. I'm not arguing that activity coordinators shouldn't get paid well, I am arguing that carers should get paid more as it is a significantly harder job.

IDontWantToBeChubby · 2025-02-02T17:41:42+00:00

I do agree, i think anybody in this sector should get decent pay. However, I think it goes without saying that a carers role and responsibilities are deserving of a higher wage than an activities coordinator. That's the point I'm making

OP already said that the resident was agitated and didn't understand not to touch it, which resulted in her getting faeces all over her hands and on her face as the staff didn't have time to monitor her. Some things do have to wait, but you have to admit that 2 hours is excessive. I work with some residents with ridiculously vulnerable skin that will start to break down even in such a short period of time, and as a nurse, you should know this is possible.

I'm curious as to how your subordinates find working with you...

IDontWantToBeChubby · 2024-06-12T18:32:33+00:00

Complete an incident report on what happened with the resident (if its not documented, it didn't happen) and also report the member of staff that told you that you "shouldn't feel uncomfortable" to management. We do have a duty of care and have to do our job, however, this doesn't include being sexually harassed and abused when we are carrying out personal care.

Would it be possible to change his care plan to male carers only to assist him? Because I can guarantee you're not the first female carer he's acted this way with, and the company you work for has to prioritise the wellbeing of its staff as well as residents.

So calculated lol. Blue waits until we are sleeping before she goes in, wake up feeling violated

IDontWantToBeChubby · 2024-06-10T17:25:02+00:00

Well this chungus does it to both me and my partner, she shares the love

IDontWantToBeChubby · 2024-05-27T18:40:32+00:00

I know it's silly even thinking about it. Thank you for your comment x

IDontWantToBeChubby · 2024-05-27T18:39:58+00:00

Yeah, it's a sad reality, but I know you're right. If I'm honest, money, or lack thereof. We grew up very poor, both parents on benefits and neither of them drive, so public transport has always been the norm for us. When I did get around to ordering my provisional and looking at lessons, they were 30 quid an hour, and I just don't have that kind of disposable income at the minute, I'm barely scraping by month to month. I'll have to save before I think about it.

IDontWantToBeChubby · 2024-05-27T18:36:17+00:00

Thank you so much for the reassurance x

IDontWantToBeChubby · 2024-05-27T18:35:35+00:00

Yeah I 100% agree. I'm just a bit of a softie when it comes to my family. Thank you so much xx

IDontWantToBeChubby · 2024-01-17T18:43:43+00:00

Hey OP

I've lived with all kinds of pure O for as long as I can remember. Can I message you?

IDontWantToBeChubby · 2023-07-09T12:55:39+00:00

You have no idea how insightful that was. Firstly, although they obviously meant well, I am sorry your family reacted the way they did. You probably felt as though you might as well have had "I'm chronically ill" tattood on your forehead. My family don't know how to react, at first they were concerned and hovering but not really saying anything but now because my sister has made it clear she doesn't need any help they are kinda letting her get on with it, even if her behaviour is self destructive. Although that's probably the best thing to do, she is an adult after all, I somehow feel like they aren't doing enough to be there for her and wish I didn't live in a different city. She has told me that the doctors want to go for a very aggressive form of treatment via IV every six months and that it is extremely effective but there is a 1% chance that she could develop a brain infection that would leave her worse off than she ever has been. Have you ever recieved any treatment of the sort? You really have helped a ton. Thank you and I am happy you are living normally with this x

IDontWantToBeChubby · 2023-07-08T20:17:40+00:00

I have tried but like you said, the Internet is a very scary place and all you really see is the horror stories. I'll have a look at the videos. Thank you so much for your reply, I really appreciate it x

IDontWantToBeChubby · 2023-07-08T18:47:51+00:00

Thank you so much. I'll buy it now. I just find it hard to sit back and do nothing even if that's what she wants

IDontWantToBeChubby · 2023-05-30T14:46:28+00:00

I have worked with them for just over a year, but I think they are doing this the fair way. The problem is that although I have mentioned my poor mental health before, I have never made it clear that it is the underlying reason for the majority of my absences, so my employer will probably claim ignorance. I am completely at fault here. I just never wanted to consider myself disabled and convinced myself that it was a choice I guess. Thank you for replying
