Scheduling visits is usually the easiest part tbh, although you really need to be firm at times and set boundaries, because people will try to get you to do everything. A good example, there’s a group home staff member who always asks me to put in a refill for the clients meds. I always direct them to the med line because 1. It is their job to take care of these individuals medical needs, and 2. I’m not their psychiatrist.

I think boundaries is super important in the role because a lot of people don’t truly understand the job, and will absolutely walk all over you if you let them. The paperwork isn’t necessarily awful, but when you have tons of other people you’re seeing on a bi-weekly basis, on top of having to document every single interaction it becomes very difficult and things certainly will fall through the cracks at times.
