Host Question: What is something that you do not love about working in home affairs?

Guest Answer: I do not particularly love, like, the turnover rate depending on, like, right now, it’s, like, kinda high and also probably losing patience. So usually I’m with a patient. I’m usually with him for the long haul or to the very end. So that’s always hard. You build that rapport and that relationship. That’s kind of like bitter sweet part of it.

Guest Answer: There’s certainly a lot of discomfort about the the job, one of my favorite lines in my job one of my job descriptions was exposure to uncomfortable temperatures or odors, and that is true.

There’s a lot of uncomfortable temperatures and odors.

But if you’re a parent and taking care of a baby very soon, that type of stuff, the awkwardness and weirdness just leaves and to kind of grow as a person quite a bit. As a meeting off track as far as what I don’t like, it it can be tough. You know, obviously, it is a really challenging job, or it can really be depending on the team that you’re working with, your coworkers, how many residents or patients you have assigned to you. If you feel like you have more assigned to you, then you can handle that can be really, really challenging. There can be a lot of sometimes they’re staffing issues. So you’re sometimes ending up working short or or working longer hours than you’d like or feeling like you have to work because no one else will. So it’s a good opportunity to at your boundaries and your self care, but it can be a challenge for sure.

Guest Answer: I do not enjoy the wiping and changing breathes.

I don’t even like doing it on my children in lot bigger quantities when they’re adult, but it is a necessary thing, so you just kinda to do it anyway.
