This is a story about entry-level employment as a nursing care worker.
I am a 65-year-old male nursing care worker.
First of all, it was very exciting to get a job at one of the four major insurance companies.
The days of my youth were taken for granted and passed by without a thought.
First, I knocked on the door for a job as a nursing assistant on the government work network.
All canceled due to age limit
In particular, in the public sector, the retirement age is specified, making access difficult.
It was difficult
So I decided to change direction and try becoming a nursing assistant.
I did
But a problem arose
There are no nursing homes in the city center.
The reason is that the establishment of a nursing home must be a private building.
It had to be installed so it was installed outside the city center.
I knew it was because
Passed - I was surprised to receive a notification of acceptance after submitting my resume.
For the first time in a long time, the four major insurance policies are available at the age of 65.
This is because I passed the exam and was notified of the start date.
Going to work - Starting from 9:00 and leaving at 18:00, but there are night shifts and handovers.
The viewing will be held for 15 minutes at 8:45.
After assembly, there will be gymnastics. National gymnastics will be held.
It was awkward at first, but over time, gymnastics became
I know why I need it
Nursing care requires only the use of the body, and the body is all property.
Since it seemed to be one of the few industries, gymnastics was essential.
Salary - I said 2.13 million won. It's probably pre-tax salary.
I haven't received my first salary yet.
Number of employees - 1 director, 2 social workers, 2 kitchen staff
Approximately 12 caregivers (5-7 during the day), (1-2 at night)
It appears to be a small nursing home (26 seniors - 5 men, 21 women)
- Elderly people with early to mid-stage dementia)
Work order, content and daily routine - morning assembly - gymnastics - cleaning - morning body
Checking and diaper care - Bathing (Monday to Friday/5-6 people per session) /
At this time, clothing for the elderly (clothes are changed frequently after checking their condition every day), bed linen,
Replace and disinfect all pillowcases, etc. - Prepare lunch - Set up the table attached to the bed,
For elderly people who are lying down, the bed is made to stand upright for meals.
(At this time, it is necessary to raise the bed up to make it easier for the elderly to sit at the table-
At this time, strength is needed, and in many cases it is impossible to do it alone (due to the weight of the elderly,
Also, for those who do not want to move - caregivers may pinch, kick, etc.
A wound occurs - I also suffered a slight gash on the back of my hand) -
Help with eating (this time too, I personally use a spoon without much effort/movement for 10-20 minutes)
(This is because we provide assistance without moving while looking at the condition of an elderly person who has difficulty swallowing)
- Help with brushing teeth after meals - Lunch provided by caregiver - Scheduled breaks
No time (one hour break during work from 9:00 to 18:00, officially
I am concerned about taking no breaks for granted except for 30 minutes.)
-Entertainment time from 2:30 -Transfer of seniors in wheelchairs in advance from 2:00
Sikkim (This time too, you need the strength of a world leader - there are tricks you have learned, but you are an old man.
Strength control levels occur depending on the situation, such as physical condition or personal will - be careful.
It's a time when difficult things are happening at the same time, so I'm very nervous - personally.
It was the most difficult time)
-2:30 to 3:20 (song, dance)
/At this time, the caregiver takes a 30-minute official break - taking the elderly to their beds.
(Even in this case, force control is required in the process of transferring from the wheelchair to the bed, or
There are seniors who scold you for being a beginner, but if you are comfortable with being a caregiver,
You should also know that it can be a bit difficult for the elderly, but based on long experience,
I explain this as a trick as if I am used to it)
-Elderly condition, diaper care time - Dinner time from 16:00-
Bed and table preparation (same as lunch) - 24 hours a day - Minimum of 1-2 people
Observation of the elderly This is called rounding - Afterwards, the elderly person changes posture.
To prevent bedsores (change position 3 times a day - in the morning, after lunch, and after dinner)
Garbage collection and separation - 17:45 After work, leave work.
In summary - going to work - cleaning - morning diaper care for the elderly - bathing -
Lunch for seniors - Afternoon diaper care for seniors - Entertainment preparation - Break time -
Dinner for seniors - Diaper care for seniors - Change of position for seniors, etc. - After work
It's all about hard work - when employed as a nurse in the US, the annual salary is 100 million won or American patients
There are many Asian nurses who give up because of their physique.
This case is similar to
The elderly are unable to move, so they rely solely on the caregiver’s power.
It's physically difficult because you have to hold on and move.
Nursing care worker's daily gait - 8000 to 12000 steps
My legs and back hurt a lot.
Nursing home environment - indoor/best cleanliness, cleaner than expected
In particular, the bathroom is kept clean every day to the point where there is no dust.
Meju Saturday water cleaning, cleaning the seniors’ rooms every morning to maintain cleanliness
Nursing home ventilation - The ground floor and entire floor are used as a nursing home.
When caring for diapers, ventilate the smell of feces and urine by briefly opening the window.
Air purifiers are used in all rooms, so there is less smell than expected.
Room type - 2-person room, 3-person room, 4-person room (differentiated by bed arrangement)
Elderly person's physical condition, medication use - One nursing assistant checks blood pressure, medication, and physical abnormalities
Checking for health, sometimes a nurse visits the hospital to provide care for the elderly.
Difficulties - Moving, preparing meals for the elderly who cannot control their own body,
Diaper care and bath preparation are difficult for one person - everything requires strength.
I only heard about it being covered with feces - this is what I actually saw
I thought it would be good for an elderly person who doesn't move, but he has dementia.
After defecating, I put my hand into my panties because it felt strange.
When you have a bowel movement and move around, you have stool all over the place.
It can be instantly done everywhere, including the floor, door handles, bed, and closet.
There were many instances where the situation was missed. A lot of commotion broke out.
It is taboo to imagine having a home.
Smell adaptation - People who are sensitive to smells should not work as a caregiver.
Fortunately, I had experience wearing a 94 mask due to Corona, so I wore it.
But there is a big difference in smell between the regular mask and the 94 mask.
Mask recommended for those over 94.
To have seen heaven alive - about 30% of Yongyang guardians
Treating the elderly as if you were caring for your parents or more than just volunteering.
I saw that, if there were no nursing homes, individuals would live at home.
Elderly people have this schedule every day. Being treated like this
I thought about how long I could last.
Instead of going to heaven after death, they are alive while they are alive.
You may not know this, but nursing homes have angels who serve as caregivers.
I thought it might be a paradise.
Checking for physical abnormalities - Nursing assistant and nursing assistant every day
I am checking and keeping a record in Care for, but in case
When family members come to visit, they talk a lot with different emotions.
Share it and the elderly also really like it.
Personally, I think the elderly are lying down.
We work hard to change your posture, but it is better than the nursing home family.
I guess family members are closer to the heart of elders.
So, I would like to offer you the following suggestion:
I also use a magnifying glass now.
I'm fine, but sometimes I see blood when I trim my toenails.
It's because you can't see well, so I thought it was just me.
Someone wrote an article about children picking off their parents’ toenails.
I was wondering if I had seen it before, and this was what I was talking about.
Like this, hair and toenails continue to grow and need maintenance.
My family spends a lot of money on their hair and nails.
Hairdressing services are also needed, and hairdressers are needed just as doctors make house calls.
How about coming along to visit your parents and helping them do their hair?
I was really surprised to see the hands and toenails again.
The foot tom is very long and thick. I, too, am an elderly person and can use it on the back of my hand when moving around.
My flesh was torn by my fingernails, but the caregivers took care of it.
But he really hates cutting his hands and toenails.
I heard that if an elderly person gets hurt, their family will protest.
If you love your parents, please bring nail salon workers with you.
If you take care of your hands, toenails, and hair, even just when visiting,
I thought about what it would be like
When you come to visit, I will dress you up to make you look pretty.
It is important to comfort your mind, but please also look at your physical condition.
I hope so. My family knows.
People rebel when their families do more than the efforts of caregivers.
The intensity will be weak and I like it because I am familiar with it.
I personally thought that it might be
Request -1.
To keep seniors with dementia clean after going to the bathroom
Just like using a bidet at home, instead of the bidet found in Asian hotels
There is a shower faucet in the toilet.
It can be used in the bathroom or toilet with the ability to control hot and cold water.
If installed, it will be good for the nursing home environment, hygiene for the elderly, and nursing care workers' work.
I had the same thought, and those who could afford it were in their parents' nursing beds.
Prepare a shower device for the elderly for your parents.
It would be nice to see it. Considering the current social atmosphere, I, the writer of this article,
I think you'll be treated like a strange person.
If this is difficult, the time spent standing while disposing of the elderly
he was having a hard time. Wiping his stool with a tissue and using a wet towel.
This is because you have to wipe it several times to get it clean.
You can lie down and receive a massage, then lie down and wash your buttocks with water.
If you have a small plate attached to the wall that you can lie on, it will last for a long time.
My butt is out of the ordinary because I'm lying down, so what's the best way to prevent this?
It will be effective too
You won't be able to see my butt when I visit.
Someone will say something like this. Shouldn't it be tolerated?
Easier said than done. He really hates bathing.
It's also a cold winter, so you can think about it yourself.
During bathing time, 3-5 caregivers move a single elderly person.
We are here to help
Should I try to do it often? It's hard for caregivers and I weigh 96 kg.
177, I have the physique to cycle 100km distance, but it is the 2nd day.
I tried to quit while I was at work.
I feel like this is not my job and why am I qualified?
There are a lot of people who don't get jobs, and it's probably because of this reason.
I got to experience this difficult work during practical training to get my sniper certification.
I tried to do nursing work, but I was shocked and didn't do it.
Request 2.
Salary issue - 2.13 million won per day working
About 230 when working night shift, about 250 when working only at night.
Many people work in nursing care, but they are older.
So, how about raising the minimum salary to around 300?
Korea is a good country
When entering a nursing home, almost all costs are covered by the state.
I'm really grateful. You have to love your country.
It is different from general private companies
Since hey are physically unwell, we are careful in taking care of them.
If any injury occurs, the nursing home should be held responsible and the caregiver
They say that if responsibility is taken, the right to indemnify is also passed on, so this is only through employment.
It's not something to think about, because your belly button may be bigger than your stomach.
