I have worked in both areas- I think both staff attitudes need to be addressed.
I see we make a difference to the clients wellbeing and we compliment what the nurses are doing as they do to our job. I don't see our roll as more important or less important.
I now work in Day programs and for that to run smoothly it takes a whole team of people starting with the clients and their needs. Follows through with a wide range of other staff from the taxi driver/bus driver who brings the clients in. To the people who mow the lawns collect the garbage, do maintanince. To the mail man, the person who delivers the meals, the courier, the entertainers that give up their time the volunteers, the person in the radio room at the taxi company, the volunteer coordinator Allied Health assistants CEO of the facility.
Until you can get your head around all of those people and many more people Dr's, District Nurse, Council workers, plumbers that keep the toilets unblocked etc etc etc you are going to have issues.
We all compliment each other. I know this sounds very broad but having been Div 2 (still am) 16yrs and now working in recreation since 1987 I have got my head around all the areas it takes for 1 client to be happy.
We are not Gods gift to recreation we are working as a TEAM for that persons well being.
