CNS Diversional&Recreational Activities for the Elderly
Hi Pam. I hope you didn't think i was giving you a hard time also that was not what i intended to do. I may be a nurse but i do appreciate all the assistance i get from students on voluntary placement. I don't think everyone understands the necessity of meaningful activities for the elderly. The nurse who bullied you clearly doesn't nor does he/she know the meaning of team work. I to get grief from other nurses and have gone home from work in tears but i know the residents i care for enjoy the activity programmes provided.I wish you all the best in your next placement not all places are like that one. If you ever come to Athlone Ireland you would be more than welcome to my place of employment. Take care and all the best.
I truly am so grateful I have found this group. I am looking forward to your emails everyday and it feels like it has given me a new lease on my working life as I went through a rough patch for a while. So thank you from the bottom of my heart for what you do!
