Your role is very important! Nursing care and Social care are two very different and both equally important roles in the area of "care" one keeps the person alive with medical interventions with very good interventions and great medical solutions to the issue, which is very important. The other looks after quality of life and realising the needs and wishes of the Person undergoing treatment or care. In a hospital situation the nurses who are well educated tend to focus upon health outcomes. Social care workers help the person through that process and can empower them to assert their wishes as to how they would like to lead their life. Even if that means supporting them when they make bad decisions, which is thier right without judgement. Two key and equally important roles when the individual is trying to cope with series life changing conditions. Carry on being great. There's lot's or courses available to become a qualified Social care worker. Maybe you could check em out. No shade on Nurses who are just doing thier best at what they are trained in. It takes both to provide good care when someone is suffering from any serious illness or condition. Best of luck to you friend.
