I quit my job as a nurse during COVID and now work as a civil servant, my experience as a nurse drove me into depression, I am only just recovering. I only go into the office 2 days a week and work from home other days. My pension as a civil servant is great and I am mad at myself for not joining the civil service much sooner.
@@rosebudnyoni7380 I just came back to this and noticed that my reply to your comment is gone, probably because it includes link. It is such a shame as it includes so many useful websites. Can you please Google civil service jobs in the UK, and it is usually the first one. There are plenty of TH-cam videos on how to apply for civil service jobs and how to pass the situational judgement test and interviews. All the best x
I’m now a retired nurse, I spent my last Five years working in nursing homes, it drove me into the floor, the suffering I saw and the terrible lack of care was affecting my mental health so much that I finally took my name off the register and walked away.
I worked as caregiver, I quit 2 months again, the clients and the clients children was rude, very disrespectful and constantly hearing racial slurs! It got to the point I was feeling physically sick, I decided that I love myself too much, I was not going to take this abuse! Always save money to back you up, just case you need to quit a job!
I’m sorry you were treated badly. We relied on live in care for my grandmother for a short while and the most caring wonderful nurse was African. She cared for my grandmother like she was her own mother and we are forever grateful to her for all the help and love she gave. I can’t stand people that are rude and ungrateful towards others it’s just not acceptable especially when they are going a job that should really be done by the family.
That's disgusting in this day and age. Never acceptable behaviour. Working as a carer can be depressing because of the hours and never enough staff. When there is a quick turnover of staff you can't get the team spirit.
I am so glad you got out of the care home. Your video came up on my regular TH-cam clicking. I have worked in all the different sorts of care settings in the UK. Most are awful. If the manager is desperate to get you started as quickly as possible, run away from that place! The manager did know about the sponsorship places and she did not want you to progress. She was desperate for care staff. She did not want you to progress. I am glad you are recovering from the mental anxiety you developed. The vast majority of care workers have mental health conditions, especially depression and anxiety. You will see many care workers with self harm scars and tattoos covering those scars. The lack of respect that carers get is disgusting - a lack of respect from managers, from clients and clients’ relatives. I wanted more people to know about this so I wrote about my own first hand experienced in care homes in my book The Key. I would recommend that if anyone does do care work, that they do it only for a short period of time while studying or preparing to move onto something better. Our elderly deserve better, but so do care workers. I am glad you have moved on to much better things and you are speaking positively but truthfully about your experiences.
I am so glad you are raising this. My daughter was kept in a house for 48 hours when someone didn’t turn up for their shift. It was a sleep in job with 24 hour shifts (up at least 3 times in the night) She is nearly having a breakdown. She’s phoned on days off and has no backup dealing with a person who is chronically ill. All for minimum wage!
Thanks for this. I do administrative work in a hospital (14 yrs) we absolutely need mental health workers. Health care in general is in a bad place. It's sad that the top dogs are making millions yearly while we are under paid and under staffed!
I was in the same place as you! Quit my job on Friday there, mental health is wealth, no matter how much they pay or promise to pay. I'm starting as a delivery driver soon and I couldn't be happier that I've chosen my peace of mind. Management do not care, staff can be rude and not many team players in care (you'd think there would be because of the nature of the job, but it's a very bitchy workforce). Good on you!
Will changing jobs from care work to driver won't affect your visa? Cos home office will know from your pay slip that you're no longer in Care which is the visa you were given. From what I know from the past, when the home office catches up with you, you can be deported with the clothes you'll be standing in. You leave all your money as they won't allow you to go to the bank and withdraw your money. Please check with your emloyers as a driver about your work visa. Stay blessed. London UK.
One of the best care providers I know is home instead. I worked for them for 6 months when I became unemployed. They provided in depth training before your first shift and went out of their way to match the client with the carer. For me it was never going to be a long term career choice but I recognise the crisis within the care sector. I preferred going into the homes of clients rather than a care home setting because I recognise there is often a negative culture within care homes. Good staff leave and the culture is perpetuated. There is a lack of investment in the care sector and care work is often viewed negatively. I believe until the government sees the need to invest in the care sector the issues will become more deep rooted
Some smaller care homes have multiple clients who are not mobile and require hoists, issues such as short staffing can be gruesome on a tiny team. This happens often and ratios can become exploited. The pay doesn't reflect the work and at times a carer can be literally saving lives for minimum wage and zero recognition. Going forward reflections on years spent with the company should come with pay increases and promotions also .
When you don’t feel appreciated or respected it’s is evident that you will leave any job. Very sad but best wishes. I feel sorry for nurses doctors teachers who seem to be under valued and the rest. Good luck 🙏🙏🙏
Congratulations on your new job. It's better to work in an hospital than care home. Care homes are privately owned whereas nhs hospitals are government owned and there are lots of opportunities in the nhs than care homes. Mental health is good, has it's own disadvantages too but it's less physically demanding. Just pray very well for God's leading He will direct your path.
@@juliecobbina2024 if you have worked in the nhs before you will realise that is the least place you can be bullied as a staff. Have worked in nursing home, private hospital, have done permanent agency work and have spent over 20years in the nhs. I can assure you nhs is the best. You have opportunity to report any form of bullying or harassment which will be thoroughly investigated. You have opportunities for career progression. Different aspects of nursing that you can work in. There is flexible working conditions. If you are not happy in an area you can apply to go to another area. I will not say more. Just pray and keep your mind open and God will lead you.
Hi, I now work for an agency as an HCA. I work when and where I want to and am paid higher rates. I am constantly disgusted at how carers are spoken to, abused, unsupported and treated like they are stupid.
Hi, I quit my job in health care after nearly twenty years, worked in one place for 14 years, over the last ten years the changes are ridiculous, policy and procedure, no proper training, management just talk about how to promote the service, staff been used as puppets and falling for it, it's impossible to work in this environment when your a person who can see what is actually going on and can not be fooled by all the propaganda, after many a stand off with managers over the years, the inevitable back stab was used, my health and mental health suffered in my last few years there, I went back into healthcare with another company, but left after 5 month, I just couldn't go through it, I'm now receiving support from a mental health organisation, and doing/learning new skills, I can't see myself ever going back into it, if you care and understand what care really is, you will know exactly why I have left the industry.
@@deborahfoss904 Thank you much appreciated, yeah it's very sad to see, there are many who work in care who have took on the mantra of look at me I'm hero, yet their to gullible to see that those above them are just using them, when policy, procedure and managers wages increasing comes before caring for the vulnerable, then care has already failed, which is the conscious plan of the government and managers are aware, sadly the staff can't see, that they are being left to fight for the crumbs that are left, they believe if the nod their heads and bow down that somehow they are brilliant, sadly their just being used and they won't fight for what's right because they already have, being confined, that the care they now provide is top class, when in reality it is nowhere near good enough, so pleased I'm out of it, you can only do your best to educate staff, that they're listening to the wrong people !!
They wanted to keep you there because they are desperate. I saw it with my own Mother when carers were coming to her home I noticed all the good ones moved on very quickly Good people are often taken advantage of, especially in work like this. It's physically and emotionally draining
Lucia, I think 3 months advancement to move up the ladder was a bit too early, I think they wanted to see more of your working skills, I think it was too early to ask for a promotion but I do like your spirit of wanting to move ahead!
Great content dear, I totally agree with you saying that Health care has high demand, according to the recent statistics it has been growing drastically, which is why many companies are giving high bonus sign up for new hire employee. even though there are still turn over. I have my degree in health systems management and public health. I have worked as a care giver when I was college, balancing work and school was not easy, but I wanted something better for myself. All I can say never stop empowering yourself , do not remain in one place forever. Get your experience, get that money and build yourself. Most importantly appreciate every journey of your life, because someone out there is praying for what you are crying and complaining about.
Well done dear and congratulations on your new job. I'm hoping to be in the UK in January for MSc Psychology and I'm intrigued to hear about your preference for mental health care. I'm encouraged. You're doing good.
Nursing doesn't have a limit bec it's dealing with a human being ,spiritual gifts are on ppls hands but sometimes we don't know so you'll enjoy bec it's time to be bussy with prayers while touching ppl ,no limit bec yu have strength from above it's almost a calling yo smile heals their pain ,always pray.
They have staffing issue but they will never recruit. I dey hail dem oooo. Being stingy with CoS for nothing and suffering people working for them unnecessarily. No wonder someone said if you are coming for the job, come with enough Aboniki. Well done Tola, keep moving. Congratulations on getting your Tier 2 sponsorship job.
Waoooo thanks sis, this video is encouraging have been scared of applying for a job in mental health...am with a care home currently and to be honest it's really stressful 😩
Fantastic video. Many people think you can make tons of money and all is good. But as you said, specially with agencies, the training is lagging and not good. They just wanna get people to work. No proper care training, which can be very dangerous for carers. Short staff, triple work to do, no help from managers, if a patient has dementia has scratched or hit you blue and red, nobody will support you from your enployers. So sorry that you had to go through this downfall of this jobs. Hope all is well now and you are better.
Congratulations dear! These are the same issues I had as a health care assistant and they said they don’t sponsor too. My heart will always skip a beat whenever I remember I’m going to work. Working as a carer i was always so exhausted each time I come back from my shift. To be honest, I was also scared of joining mental health even when my husband kept telling me to consider it. I heard horrible stories that discouraged me. I’m enjoying the support work more. Thanks for this video. This should be an eye opener for people running away from mental health jobs
I gave up my work in care home in December last year because of lack of respect and constantly short of staff . Now working in private care one to one where I am well paid, valued and respected!
I live in the UK and worked in the care sector has a care assistant and I have had good and bad company's and at the end of the day it's a profit making, i quit being a care assistant and work now has a domestic assistant and it's the best thing I did, I still suffer with back pain and its nothing to do with poor moving and handling it's cause it's a demanding job.
A hearty congratulations 💃💃💃💃. I'm so happy for you o. I'll consider it, that's if we are employed. I guess the goal is to get there first, then we mouuve, just like you did if we can't cope. Congratulations once more
I quit mine at the start of the pandemic and i will never go back!! Nursing homes are a cesspit!!! The bullying, over worked and under paid. I'm now doing live-in care and i love it plus the money is way better. However, this will not be long term for me. I'm switching up careers.
Wonderful to your happy in your new job so far as a mental health profession congratulations. As a mental health service user in the community I have heard people who have been inpatient have said often there are many hca staff sitting in the closed office chatting and they don’t answer the door please do not be that kind of staff member spending more time in the staff office with your work friends than actually working and properly supervising patients (the patient will have less incidents if you do that) you seem an encouraging and engaging person though and I am encouraged that you will be well liked by patients and other staff. I wish you well.
Congratulations on your new job honey 👏 😘 you do seem way happier than the first video of yours doing your first night shift. Also thank you for enlightening us about the truth of this role, am a sudanese dentist and i was going to seek HCA job along side doing my equivalency exams to practice dentistry in the uk cause its difficult to get visitor visa from my country, but i'll definitely have second thoughts after this video. Thank u 💓
Thank God you are out of there. Although, I have not worked in a care home or as a carer since I got here, but the stories and complain I get from people will not even make me go near it. The only edge working as a carer might have over working as a Mental health support worker is that you can easily get sponsorship, but it's real hard work, so I heard. Mental health support work is Netflix and chill compared to being a care home HCA but you must follow the rules. I have been enjoying it, cause you get to meet different people both as patients and colleagues
@@TolaLusi My Sis, I do not doubt your experience in this video. This is because there was a day a lady gave her testimony in church here in UK about the back pain that made her to almost conclude she was going to die. Thank God she didn't... And she's even a nurse in one of the big hospitals here in Scotland..how much more a home care that is understaffed. Unto higher heights Sis!... ☺️☺️
Tola, I no the job you're taking about, the mental health job , they were having an open day in my city too, i just walked in and they interviewed me for the support work role, thats how I got the job too. I was working as a health care assistant before but this mental health is way easier.
Congratulations! I'm happy for you. I was initially put off from the idea of working as a healthcare assistant. I didn't realize mental health care was an option. Your video is inspiring. Thank you!
Hmmmm I'm also facing the same issue totally everything I do in the care home is rubbish to them but they always want my services God will make away oneday
I need help pls Can someone pls tell me four person centred ways of administering medication whilst still adhering to the instructions followed. THANKS
I'm so happy for you Tola. I'm glad you knew when to resign from your previous job and I'm happy that you're enjoying your current job. Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉
I work in a large residential facility with all wheelchair and stretchers. I'm over 50 and have constant pain in my knees and shoulders. I'm also the union rep do a lot falls on me. I left work early today because I was limping all day. I keep saying it's my last year and I will wind up staying. But it's really time to go. I love my job but I physically just can't do it anymore.
I am now 61 and paralysed for six years and other issues. I'm lucky to have a pa and looked after at home but I dread if I ever have to go in a home as I've seen shoddiness and ignorance in hospital by workers brought in but not working for NHS ..not all but a lot... They took to me coz I bought them a box of chocolates each lol. Anyway going back about ten years ago when I was walking a gp who owned a few care homes asked me when I was having a flu jab would I like to work in his home at nights. He said they are all asleep and I could go to sleep too. Very nice. Also I have never done anything like that but he was prepared to have just anyone regardless of experience or lack of it. I don't blame you or anyone coming away from the job. I have met a few people starting into this job coz they wanted to do good but soon came away coz of the hard work and messing about. If they were treated right they would love the job and do it well which is what they wanted to do. Good luck in your future carrear. Xxx
People always think the mental health clients/ customers can bite, they should learn to understand people have historys in their life in different forms and ways is a very good job Supporting people according to their needs.
Babes congratulations….🎉 MENTAL HEALTH is the goal honestly I won’t even lie , everything yiu said I can concur I’m happy babes you are doing something that makes you excited 🤸🏻♀️🤸🏻♀️ you are now in the hospital 🤸🏻♀️ you no tell me NHS don collect you the growth in mental health is compared to none I bet you…weldone my sister I’m coming to your dm to congratulate you more 🤸🏻♀️🤸🏻♀️once you love your job everything becomes much better weldone again babes ❤️
Thanks for sharing your experiences there I'm on the process to enter UK so it's nice to keep on watching your video it's so helpful for me, and I got some idea like planing to work in the health care if I'm there,So I have now a good choice to better choose in mental health care rather than in home health care. So thank you so much Tola.
I found your videos (watched your first care home one and now this one) i was sesrchjng peoples exeperiecnes as care work jobs arw all incan find in my area atm, I've been and hairdresser/nail tech/beautician in the same salon for 15 years now and need something new to do
I have been a mental health nurse for over 30 years. You need compassion, great interpersonal skills and enhanced note taking skills. Most mental health trusts will require you to complete an induction period with MAPA, safeguarding training. Mental health is not the easier option and you will be physically and emotionally drained most shifts. All care is exhausting and no care discipline is easier than the other. Apply to become a mental health worker because you are passionate about mental health. Remember mental health units also support people who require physically health care. People still have diabetes, bariatric needs and even require hoisting.
Although your content has been very informative, I would like to point out that with over 17 years in care at all dreffent job types you have to understand that no matter in working in a care home,school, NHS, support living or mental health each job has it's challenges, mental health can be more challenging than most due to the clients needs, for you to enjoy your work life in health care remember it is always short staff, you will have challenging clients that at time's can shout at you, hitting you, ect, ect, this is across all field's of work. I would advise you to get your NVQ 4. This will give you more opportunities and please your employer will only give you at time's level 2 to 3. If you do level 2 you might have to wait years before you get onto the next level. These are some of the games they play. Be careful what your saying Although you haven't named your company, your face is on view some time's these things can go against you later. If you are working and you can afford to pay do your studies on line. I have seen it all and I want you to be safe 🙏 that you will look into this more.
That's ok, I am looking out for you, remember try and do level 4 in health and social care, which I know they will not give you, but if I was you look yp health and social care course, find the best places that specialise in this field don't just do a course because it's cheaper than other's. If your are planning on going to any university you will have to have NVQ, if you are paying it might be down on how long you have been working try and be in your job for over 1 year, if you can pay then I would say apply to Arden university which is an online university and you can studied any were in the world, you might be able to get a loan which you can pay back later, look in to this first, find the type of role your interested in and stay on that course, regardless of the pay hours not getting to do training these are the real points we all face in care, my last point try the NHS for work. "WHY you will be working with a organisation that's got training on the ground. Think and move. I do live-in the money is very good, yes I am self-employed but I only work with one client and I am much older planning to go back home .
I was going and do Level 3 I Health care support then Level 4. Should I still do it or or just do level 4 instead. I already have a degree in management. Thanks
@@rachelking3223 Hi, if you company is paying ask them for level 4, if they say no and you can afford to pay for the level 4 your self then go onto the level 4. It will open more doors for you.
Hi there, I worked as an admin assistant for a care provider for 2 ½ years and left last year for a council job as the workplace was toxic. My colleagues and I got on well and I still keep in touch with them; management was the issue. I was witness to a lot of dodgy practices that took place, especially in terms of management pocketing money from staff, sending inexperienced staff (who were not vetted) to work and forging compliance documents. This isn't everything I witnessed, just the tip of an iceberg. Managers were demanding and had a constant habit of contacting you out of hours, even if sick or on annual leave. They would manipulate you into coming in if sick or had time off. I couldn't work in such an industry again as I felt that I was compromising my morals and values to protect a company that encouraged bad practice. One of my former colleagues who resigned 6 months before myself told me of unfortunate experiences I wasn't aware of - mainly being groomed by a male manager. It was so sad to hear and I was glad I found another job.
Hey girl, congratulations for your new role. I’m also getting a role of HCA soon and I’m waiting for the COS letter. But most likely I might get Domiciliary care job. In your opinion, is that a good to go option? Love from Sri Lanka
Thanks for this! Please how do I switch to mental health care assistance? Are there certifications to be done? Please I really need this. Congratulations on your new job.
Lady take things easy and stop putting to much pressure on your employer and get to study your environment and the people, most of this courses you can do on your own even online because you are now in the UK, some employer have this in place but some does not and you have to do it yourself, so take it easy and enjoy your new job and be very careful because this people can be very dodging and tricky. Am a nurse working in UK for the past 27 years. Let me give you this advice now after six months you can ask your employer to sponsor you to do ‘MAPA training’ Management of Actual or Potential Aggression Training, once you have this legal registered UK professional mental health training then you are now qualified as a mental health health care worker and that is the area you will continue to work and you will become an hot cake for employer in Mental health sectors and the money is more better, some employer paid from £18 to £20 per hour while weekends and nights shift starts from £23 an hour. Wish you the best.
@@faithkiilu2779 you currently with learning disability clients I don’t think you need it there unless you work in mental health wards but ask your manager if they can sponsor you to the course MAPA Training but I doubt is only for those working with mental health clients, in UK mainland you can pay and do this course by yourself but in the north of Ireland only the employer is allowed to sponsor you to do this MAPA training.
Congratulations Tola on your new job. You are absolutely correct. Some of these employers, mostly the Africans do not just encourage their staff on job advancement.
When my polish deputy instructed me not to get sick or my baby..dealt with 2 africans having miscarriages whilst im in charge and the British waa leaving in huge crowds i quit. I cannot run 3 floors while my medicator is just in one unit...and she was agency. Well in short my baby's teething his back teeth n I left effectively no one can break me. Short staffed day n night n I left as a transfer
Thanks for this video,I was recruited in November 2022 at a care home as a team leader and up no induction no online training,abused by co workers and being received racist words.This is modern slavery,physically and mentally I am drained.They fully sponsored me from Africa.
Another thing about it is that if you have to be empathetic, caring at the same time firm to work in metal health as you will meet different types of people.
@@TolaLusi yea. But HCA is more of physical stress while support in mental health is more of mental stress 😂. In all mental health is more chilling I won’t lie. I’m at work as I’m chatting with you 😂😂
Hi I'm here one month and days in the uk I only work for 2weeks staying home for 4weeks before another job came up ,makes me stress and depress,Can I change my career to something else, even cleaner,farmer etc?? Please
I was hired as a DSP a few months ago, and the process was a month. At that time I was stressing about finding a way to get to the assigned home. I let it go because I didn’t want to work there, truthfully. I’m wanting to phase out the work.
I’m such a good aide that I told my agency that I am quitting and they told me this is one of the best live in cases and I said that is good so that means someone else would be happy to have it,she then told me she’d be very frustrated if I left this case because I fit in and the family likes me. So I’m supposed to suffer for the agency and the family. Crazy!
Lol... while I understand your point 💯 I think it is still a huge compliment because most employers will not admit that you are a valuable member of staff, let alone say it to your face.
@@TolaLusi I understand where your coming from but it is becoming to much. The client goes to church every Sunday and to her family house and out to eat at predominantly white restaurants where I’m stared at,I am a live in and feel I don’t have a life of my own. I appreciate that they love me but in the beginning I told my client when she gets better we can walk more & she said yes then I can fire you. I also told her she can’t walk away from me without supervision,she said “well what are u gonna do,write it down?”I cooked her food and she said I must not like it because I’m serving her. Her family had my back but it’s hard to work with those type of comments being made & being waken up in middle of nights & early mornings. Would you be able to take it? even with the appreciation of your employer?
Thanks for this! Congratulations on your new Job, so happy for you! Please how do I switch to Mental health care from domiciliary care, please what certifications do I need to do?
Hi I am offering care giving to my mother as a full time job. Sometimes my family helps me with money but not many times and I feel like my mother is able to run the place herself. She runs a farm. I am not a farmer and I don't enjoy being here. I do the records pay bills do accounts and basically also do nothing because it's 2 much for me. My family doesn't seem to care. My projects are running behind. Should I just leave my mother. She is 86 and she is able to do alot only she is not mobile but can still move around
Good morning, just saw your video after one year, please am presently in the domiciliary care for the past 7month in the uk, can i go for the mental health course. Do i have a chance to move to an nhs job with the mental health certificate
@@TolaLusi thanks for the quick response. Please can i do the online mental health course by reed, is it allowed or whats the name of the organisations/ company you use
Thank you very much for this Information, I just got across your channel and its been helpful and i couldn't help but subscribe 😍. Would like to know if its true that when applying to care homes, you must only work with them for the number of years given to you on your sponsorship and won't be allowed to quit? I have heard alot of people say this. I am applying from Nigeria
I have back shoulder pain, feet pain, stress, back pain ,anxiety whenever i have to go to work, sleep only 2 hrs during the day, I'm a night nurse in a care home, constantly get reminded that I'm on a visa,
Like I have been looking for mental health job lift, right center but have now been lucky I will be glad if you will recommend me for any mental health care home that will sponsor me. Congratulations on your new job.
Lovely video care is not an easy job which part of mental health are you dealing with? I have seen some aggressive ones also not very easy to deal with but yes less physical work. Just wanted to find out if you get to choose which level of mental health you can deal with or its random patients/clients in mental health?
Ma can I start my process even with my BA? Asuu it’s still on strike and I’ve already started my online diploma. It’s discouraging cause I was told I need my BA for more certification
I quit my job as a nurse during COVID and now work as a civil servant, my experience as a nurse drove me into depression, I am only just recovering. I only go into the office 2 days a week and work from home other days. My pension as a civil servant is great and I am mad at myself for not joining the civil service much sooner.
🥺🤍
Hi Feyi - congratulations on your civil service job! How do I apply if I’m interested! I’m a nurse too & burnout is real! Thanks 🙏🏽
Feyi please help her out...🙏
@@rosebudnyoni7380 I just came back to this and noticed that my reply to your comment is gone, probably because it includes link. It is such a shame as it includes so many useful websites. Can you please Google civil service jobs in the UK, and it is usually the first one. There are plenty of TH-cam videos on how to apply for civil service jobs and how to pass the situational judgement test and interviews. All the best x
I’m now a retired nurse, I spent my last Five years working in nursing homes, it drove me into the floor, the suffering I saw and the terrible lack of care was affecting my mental health so much that I finally took my name off the register and walked away.
I really enjoy these people coming online being real about their situation.
🙌🙌🙌
I worked as caregiver, I quit 2 months again, the clients and the clients children was rude, very disrespectful and constantly hearing racial slurs! It got to the point I was feeling physically sick, I decided that I love myself too much, I was not going to take this abuse! Always save money to back you up, just case you need to quit a job!
I can relate 💯💯💯
I’m sorry you were treated badly. We relied on live in care for my grandmother for a short while and the most caring wonderful nurse was African. She cared for my grandmother like she was her own mother and we are forever grateful to her for all the help and love she gave.
I can’t stand people that are rude and ungrateful towards others it’s just not acceptable especially when they are going a job that should really be done by the family.
🤎🤎🤎
That's disgusting in this day and age. Never acceptable behaviour. Working as a carer can be depressing because of the hours and never enough staff. When there is a quick turnover of staff you can't get the team spirit.
That's not the case here...
My daughter started as HCA in a London hospital, she's now level 6 nurse. It's hard work . I was also in NHS but left after pandemic . Don't give up .
🤎🤎🤎
I am so glad you got out of the care home. Your video came up on my regular TH-cam clicking. I have worked in all the different sorts of care settings in the UK. Most are awful. If the manager is desperate to get you started as quickly as possible, run away from that place! The manager did know about the sponsorship places and she did not want you to progress. She was desperate for care staff. She did not want you to progress. I am glad you are recovering from the mental anxiety you developed. The vast majority of care workers have mental health conditions, especially depression and anxiety. You will see many care workers with self harm scars and tattoos covering those scars. The lack of respect that carers get is disgusting - a lack of respect from managers, from clients and clients’ relatives. I wanted more people to know about this so I wrote about my own first hand experienced in care homes in my book The Key. I would recommend that if anyone does do care work, that they do it only for a short period of time while studying or preparing to move onto something better. Our elderly deserve better, but so do care workers. I am glad you have moved on to much better things and you are speaking positively but truthfully about your experiences.

I am so glad you are raising this. My daughter was kept in a house for 48 hours when someone didn’t turn up for their shift. It was a sleep in job with 24 hour shifts (up at least 3 times in the night) She is nearly having a breakdown. She’s phoned on days off and has no backup dealing with a person who is chronically ill. All for minimum wage!
That needs reporting... it's illegal!
Great
Thanks for this. I do administrative work in a hospital (14 yrs) we absolutely need mental health workers. Health care in general is in a bad place. It's sad that the top dogs are making millions yearly while we are under paid and under staffed!
It's really sad
I’m looking for hca work, where do u work
Search online dear... check indeed.com, Reed.com and gov.uk.
Really? I am looking for a job as a health care assistant, so can you hook me up?
Check online on indeed.com, Reed.com and gov.uk.
I was in the same place as you! Quit my job on Friday there, mental health is wealth, no matter how much they pay or promise to pay. I'm starting as a delivery driver soon and I couldn't be happier that I've chosen my peace of mind. Management do not care, staff can be rude and not many team players in care (you'd think there would be because of the nature of the job, but it's a very bitchy workforce). Good on you!
I agree...💯
I'm glad you got out too...🙌
...wish you all the best in your new job 🤍
The bullying that goes on in the NHS... I can imagine it happens in care homes, state run or private.
What does it take to be a delivery driver. I am a driver but currently in Kenya. Advice willl be of much help pls.
Will changing jobs from care work to driver won't affect your visa? Cos home office will know from your pay slip that you're no longer in Care which is the visa you were given. From what I know from the past, when the home office catches up with you, you can be deported with the clothes you'll be standing in. You leave all your money as they won't allow you to go to the bank and withdraw your money. Please check with your emloyers as a driver about your work visa. Stay blessed. London UK.
Well said darling pls what are the requirements for health care and mental health care. Did you write ielts b4 securing these jobs?
One of the best care providers I know is home instead. I worked for them for 6 months when I became unemployed. They provided in depth training before your first shift and went out of their way to match the client with the carer. For me it was never going to be a long term career choice but I recognise the crisis within the care sector. I preferred going into the homes of clients rather than a care home setting because I recognise there is often a negative culture within care homes. Good staff leave and the culture is perpetuated. There is a lack of investment in the care sector and care work is often viewed negatively. I believe until the government sees the need to invest in the care sector the issues will become more deep rooted
I believe so too... 🤎
Some smaller care homes have multiple clients who are not mobile and require hoists, issues such as short staffing can be gruesome on a tiny team. This happens often and ratios can become exploited. The pay doesn't reflect the work and at times a carer can be literally saving lives for minimum wage and zero recognition. Going forward reflections on years spent with the company should come with pay increases and promotions also .
I know right...🤍
Story of my life
❤️❤️❤️
When you don’t feel appreciated or respected it’s is evident that you will leave any job. Very sad but best wishes. I feel sorry for nurses doctors teachers who seem to be under valued and the rest. Good luck 🙏🙏🙏
🤍🤍🤍
Ha honestly some jobs like being a nanny a home care nurse Ummm they are too much
🤍🤍🤍
Congratulations on your new job. It's better to work in an hospital than care home. Care homes are privately owned whereas nhs hospitals are government owned and there are lots of opportunities in the nhs than care homes. Mental health is good, has it's own disadvantages too but it's less physically demanding. Just pray very well for God's leading He will direct your path.
Amen
Thanks ❤️
Im sorry but the nhs is a job with a lot of bullying. You have to be tough and cope with 7.45am to 7.30 pm.shifts ... and nights .
@@juliecobbina2024 if you have worked in the nhs before you will realise that is the least place you can be bullied as a staff. Have worked in nursing home, private hospital, have done permanent agency work and have spent over 20years in the nhs. I can assure you nhs is the best. You have opportunity to report any form of bullying or harassment which will be thoroughly investigated. You have opportunities for career progression. Different aspects of nursing that you can work in. There is flexible working conditions. If you are not happy in an area you can apply to go to another area. I will not say more. Just pray and keep your mind open and God will lead you.
🤎🤎🤎
What course does one require to do mental health care? Congrats on your new job.
Hi, I now work for an agency as an HCA. I work when and where I want to and am paid higher rates. I am constantly disgusted at how carers are spoken to, abused, unsupported and treated like they are stupid.
It's the sad reality of things right now...
Where you live dear

Hi, I quit my job in health care after nearly twenty years, worked in one place for 14 years, over the last ten years the changes are ridiculous, policy and procedure, no proper training, management just talk about how to promote the service, staff been used as puppets and falling for it, it's impossible to work in this environment when your a person who can see what is actually going on and can not be fooled by all the propaganda, after many a stand off with managers over the years, the inevitable back stab was used, my health and mental health suffered in my last few years there, I went back into healthcare with another company, but left after 5 month, I just couldn't go through it, I'm now receiving support from a mental health organisation, and doing/learning new skills, I can't see myself ever going back into it, if you care and understand what care really is, you will know exactly why I have left the industry.
I get you 💯💯💯
And I completely understand...
@@deborahfoss904
Thank you much appreciated, yeah it's very sad to see, there are many who work in care who have took on the mantra of look at me I'm hero, yet their to gullible to see that those above them are just using them, when policy, procedure and managers wages increasing comes before caring for the vulnerable, then care has already failed, which is the conscious plan of the government and managers are aware, sadly the staff can't see, that they are being left to fight for the crumbs that are left, they believe if the nod their heads and bow down that somehow they are brilliant, sadly their just being used and they won't fight for what's right because they already have, being confined, that the care they now provide is top class, when in reality it is nowhere near good enough, so pleased I'm out of it, you can only do your best to educate staff, that they're listening to the wrong people !!
They wanted to keep you there because they are desperate.
I saw it with my own Mother when carers were coming to her home
I noticed all the good ones moved on very quickly
Good people are often taken advantage of, especially in work like this. It's physically and emotionally draining
🤍🤍🤍
Yes indeed
Lucia, I think 3 months advancement to move up the ladder was a bit too early, I think they wanted to see more of your working skills, I think it was too early to ask for a promotion but I do like your spirit of wanting to move ahead!
Thanks
I agree
Congratulations Tola! I also got a support worker role in the Uk currently awaiting for my cos love all the way from Zimbabwe🇿🇼
Congratulations Von!... hope to see you soon 😊
Congratulations my sister!
Congrates sister.
Congratulations to you on your job offer. Am happy for you
Thank you so much 🤎
I quit my corporate job due to insidious bullying and took a gap year teaching. Now I'm working helping people at university
...must be very rewarding ✨️
Great content dear, I totally agree with you saying that Health care has high demand, according to the recent statistics it has been growing drastically, which is why many companies are giving high bonus sign up for new hire employee. even though there are still turn over. I have my degree in health systems management and public health. I have worked as a care giver when I was college, balancing work and school was not easy, but I wanted something better for myself. All I can say never stop empowering yourself , do not remain in one place forever. Get your experience, get that money and build yourself. Most importantly appreciate every journey of your life, because someone out there is praying for what you are crying and complaining about.
I agree...💯
Am acna,and want to upgrade,but its giving me hard time to find an online genuine collage for abridge program, who can advise,
Well done dear and congratulations on your new job. I'm hoping to be in the UK in January for MSc Psychology and I'm intrigued to hear about your preference for mental health care. I'm encouraged. You're doing good.

Hi..am currently in CNA CNA school. I want to know more about the mental health care giver.am in the us.do I need to take a course on that.
Thanks for reaching out... I've made several videos of mental health...regarding this please browse through...
They have staffing issue but they will never recruit. I dey hail dem oooo. Being stingy with CoS for nothing and suffering people working for them unnecessarily. No wonder someone said if you are coming for the job, come with enough Aboniki.
Well done Tola, keep moving.
Congratulations on getting your Tier 2 sponsorship job.
Thanks sis... and please come with Penlty Aboniki true true...🤭
What is aboniki🤣
It is a strong mentolated balm for muscle pain relief.
Waoooo thanks sis, this video is encouraging have been scared of applying for a job in mental health...am with a care home currently and to be honest it's really stressful 😩
Go for it sis 👏
I pray you don't get offended by my comment, but your accent is beautiful. I can listen to you talk for hours. I just love your accent.
🤗🤗🤗
"Going to be there and continue to suffer while I had options" well said. Indeed mental health is a priority
🙌🙌🙌
Fantastic video. Many people think you can make tons of money and all is good. But as you said, specially with agencies, the training is lagging and not good. They just wanna get people to work. No proper care training, which can be very dangerous for carers. Short staff, triple work to do, no help from managers, if a patient has dementia has scratched or hit you blue and red, nobody will support you from your enployers. So sorry that you had to go through this downfall of this jobs. Hope all is well now and you are better.
Thanks... I'm doing great 👍
Congratulations! I am happy for you. Thank you!
You are so correct.
The physical involment in the personal care sector is draining.
🥺🥺🥺
Congratulations dear!
These are the same issues I had as a health care assistant and they said they don’t sponsor too. My heart will always skip a beat whenever I remember I’m going to work. Working as a carer i was always so exhausted each time I come back from my shift.
To be honest, I was also scared of joining mental health even when my husband kept telling me to consider it. I heard horrible stories that discouraged me.
I’m enjoying the support work more.
Thanks for this video. This should be an eye opener for people running away from mental health jobs
Thanks sis 😘
Please do you need to be a mental health nurse before you apply?
No ma
And they keep crying of shortage yet they won't sponsor
I gave up my work in care home in December last year because of lack of respect and constantly short of staff .
Now working in private care one to one where I am well paid, valued and respected!
Something needs to be done about the staffing issue... it's getting too much!. .
@@TolaLusi I know it's seems that this problem is ongoing almost in every care home

I live in the UK and worked in the care sector has a care assistant and I have had good and bad company's and at the end of the day it's a profit making, i quit being a care assistant and work now has a domestic assistant and it's the best thing I did, I still suffer with back pain and its nothing to do with poor moving and handling it's cause it's a demanding job.

I agree 👍
Thanks sis 😘
I quit mine at the start of the pandemic and i will never go back!! Nursing homes are a cesspit!!! The bullying, over worked and under paid. I'm now doing live-in care and i love it plus the money is way better. However, this will not be long term for me. I'm switching up careers.
Thanks great!... I honestly don't think people should stay at one level for way too long.
Really nice insight, thank you for sharing. You've got yourself a new subscriber.

Wow Tola!! Thank you for the update, this is definitely an eye opener
🙌
Wonderful to your happy in your new job so far as a mental health profession congratulations. As a mental health service user in the community I have heard people who have been inpatient have said often there are many hca staff sitting in the closed office chatting and they don’t answer the door please do not be that kind of staff member spending more time in the staff office with your work friends than actually working and properly supervising patients (the patient will have less incidents if you do that) you seem an encouraging and engaging person though and I am encouraged that you will be well liked by patients and other staff. I wish you well.
Thanks love...❤️
I'm always on the ward... talking and interacting with staff and patients alike 😊
Congratulations on your new job honey 👏 😘 you do seem way happier than the first video of yours doing your first night shift.
Also thank you for enlightening us about the truth of this role, am a sudanese dentist and i was going to seek HCA job along side doing my equivalency exams to practice dentistry in the uk cause its difficult to get visitor visa from my country, but i'll definitely have second thoughts after this video.
Thank u 💓

Found this channel today been thinking about working as a medical assistant or home health aide but in the US. Thank you ❤
You're welcome 😊
Thank God you are out of there. Although, I have not worked in a care home or as a carer since I got here, but the stories and complain I get from people will not even make me go near it. The only edge working as a carer might have over working as a Mental health support worker is that you can easily get sponsorship, but it's real hard work, so I heard. Mental health support work is Netflix and chill compared to being a care home HCA but you must follow the rules. I have been enjoying it, cause you get to meet different people both as patients and colleagues
You have been well informed 💯
@@TolaLusi My Sis, I do not doubt your experience in this video. This is because there was a day a lady gave her testimony in church here in UK about the back pain that made her to almost conclude she was going to die. Thank God she didn't...
And she's even a nurse in one of the big hospitals here in Scotland..how much more a home care that is understaffed.
Unto higher heights Sis!... ☺️☺️
Thanks sis...🙏
I’m glad you have your new job and enjoying it !!! ❤
Thanks ❤️
Tola, I no the job you're taking about, the mental health job , they were having an open day in my city too, i just walked in and they interviewed me for the support work role, thats how I got the job too. I was working as a health care assistant before but this mental health is way easier.

Is there any mental care home that gives COS?
Yes, search on indeed.com, Reed.com and gov.uk

Hmmmm I'm also facing the same issue totally everything I do in the care home is rubbish to them but they always want my services God will make away oneday
I need help pls
Can someone pls tell me four person centred ways of administering medication whilst still adhering to the instructions followed. THANKS

I work in a large residential facility with all wheelchair and stretchers. I'm over 50 and have constant pain in my knees and shoulders. I'm also the union rep do a lot falls on me. I left work early today because I was limping all day. I keep saying it's my last year and I will wind up staying. But it's really time to go. I love my job but I physically just can't do it anymore.
Please take care of you....🥺
I am now 61 and paralysed for six years and other issues. I'm lucky to have a pa and looked after at home but I dread if I ever have to go in a home as I've seen shoddiness and ignorance in hospital by workers brought in but not working for NHS ..not all but a lot... They took to me coz I bought them a box of chocolates each lol. Anyway going back about ten years ago when I was walking a gp who owned a few care homes asked me when I was having a flu jab would I like to work in his home at nights. He said they are all asleep and I could go to sleep too. Very nice. Also I have never done anything like that but he was prepared to have just anyone regardless of experience or lack of it. I don't blame you or anyone coming away from the job. I have met a few people starting into this job coz they wanted to do good but soon came away coz of the hard work and messing about. If they were treated right they would love the job and do it well which is what they wanted to do. Good luck in your future carrear. Xxx
Thank you so much for saying this...🤎🤎🤎

I found your videos (watched your first care home one and now this one) i was sesrchjng peoples exeperiecnes as care work jobs arw all incan find in my area atm, I've been and hairdresser/nail tech/beautician in the same salon for 15 years now and need something new to do
I have been a mental health nurse for over 30 years. You need compassion, great interpersonal skills and enhanced note taking skills. Most mental health trusts will require you to complete an induction period with MAPA, safeguarding training. Mental health is not the easier option and you will be physically and emotionally drained most shifts. All care is exhausting and no care discipline is easier than the other. Apply to become a mental health worker because you are passionate about mental health. Remember mental health units also support people who require physically health care. People still have diabetes, bariatric needs and even require hoisting.
True 🤎
i will say , you paid your dues, congratulations . i am super happy for you.
Thank you so much sis...🤎
Thanks for the video Tola. What specific trainings or experience were required for the job please
Care certificates and the likes... volunteering etc...
Congratulation my dear sister and thank you so much for this great info. I am glad I dropped by today.
Thanks for stopping by 😊

Although your content has been very informative, I would like to point out that with over 17 years in care at all dreffent job types you have to understand that no matter in working in a care home,school, NHS, support living or mental health each job has it's challenges, mental health can be more challenging than most due to the clients needs, for you to enjoy your work life in health care remember it is always short staff, you will have challenging clients that at time's can shout at you, hitting you, ect, ect, this is across all field's of work. I would advise you to get your NVQ 4. This will give you more opportunities and please your employer will only give you at time's level 2 to 3. If you do level 2 you might have to wait years before you get onto the next level. These are some of the games they play. Be careful what your saying Although you haven't named your company, your face is on view some time's these things can go against you later.
If you are working and you can afford to pay do your studies on line.
I have seen it all and I want you to be safe 🙏 that you will look into this more.
Thanks for sharing Jenni ❤️
That's ok, I am looking out for you, remember try and do level 4 in health and social care, which I know they will not give you, but if I was you look yp health and social care course, find the best places that specialise in this field don't just do a course because it's cheaper than other's.
If your are planning on going to any university you will have to have NVQ, if you are paying it might be down on how long you have been working try and be in your job for over 1 year, if you can pay then I would say apply to Arden university which is an online university and you can studied any were in the world, you might be able to get a loan which you can pay back later, look in to this first, find the type of role your interested in and stay on that course, regardless of the pay hours not getting to do training these are the real points we all face in care, my last point try the NHS for work. "WHY you will be working with a organisation that's got training on the ground.
Think and move.
I do live-in the money is very good, yes I am self-employed but I only work with one client and I am much older planning to go back home .
Thanks for sharing...
I'll consider this ❤️
I was going and do Level 3 I Health care support then Level 4. Should I still do it or or just do level 4 instead. I already have a degree in management. Thanks
@@rachelking3223
Hi, if you company is paying ask them for level 4, if they say no and you can afford to pay for the level 4 your self then go onto the level 4. It will open more doors for you.
Hi there, I worked as an admin assistant for a care provider for 2 ½ years and left last year for a council job as the workplace was toxic. My colleagues and I got on well and I still keep in touch with them; management was the issue.
I was witness to a lot of dodgy practices that took place, especially in terms of management pocketing money from staff, sending inexperienced staff (who were not vetted) to work and forging compliance documents. This isn't everything I witnessed, just the tip of an iceberg. Managers were demanding and had a constant habit of contacting you out of hours, even if sick or on annual leave. They would manipulate you into coming in if sick or had time off.
I couldn't work in such an industry again as I felt that I was compromising my morals and values to protect a company that encouraged bad practice. One of my former colleagues who resigned 6 months before myself told me of unfortunate experiences I wasn't aware of - mainly being groomed by a male manager. It was so sad to hear and I was glad I found another job.
♥️♥️♥️

Hey girl, congratulations for your new role. I’m also getting a role of HCA soon and I’m waiting for the COS letter. But most likely I might get Domiciliary care job. In your opinion, is that a good to go option?
Love from Sri Lanka
I will have to refer you to Vonvicky Talks here on youtube... she came in through that method but had to change her employer down the line...
I just got that Domicilliary role, I am already feeling agitated, but I am happy
Domiciliary job requires you to have a drivers licence. It's a home to home kind of job
Yes it does.
Thanks for this! Please how do I switch to mental health care assistance? Are there certifications to be done? Please I really need this. Congratulations on your new job.
I hope this helps

Lady take things easy and stop putting to much pressure on your employer and get to study your environment and the people, most of this courses you can do on your own even online because you are now in the UK, some employer have this in place but some does not and you have to do it yourself, so take it easy and enjoy your new job and be very careful because this people can be very dodging and tricky. Am a nurse working in UK for the past 27 years. Let me give you this advice now after six months you can ask your employer to sponsor you to do ‘MAPA training’ Management of Actual or Potential Aggression Training, once you have this legal registered UK professional mental health training then you are now qualified as a mental health health care worker and that is the area you will continue to work and you will become an hot cake for employer in Mental health sectors and the money is more better, some employer paid from £18 to £20 per hour while weekends and nights shift starts from £23 an hour. Wish you the best.
Thanks. I really appreciate it... 🙏
@Olufemi I Would like to know more about this training, currently working with learning disability care in Northern Ireland
@@faithkiilu2779 you currently with learning disability clients I don’t think you need it there unless you work in mental health wards but ask your manager if they can sponsor you to the course MAPA Training but I doubt is only for those working with mental health clients, in UK mainland you can pay and do this course by yourself but in the north of Ireland only the employer is allowed to sponsor you to do this MAPA training.

Care home workers and the carers who go house to house are criminally underpaid and under respected in UK.
💯💯💯
When my polish deputy instructed me not to get sick or my baby..dealt with 2 africans having miscarriages whilst im in charge and the British waa leaving in huge crowds i quit. I cannot run 3 floors while my medicator is just in one unit...and she was agency. Well in short my baby's teething his back teeth n I left effectively no one can break me. Short staffed day n night n I left as a transfer
I just don't get the whole concept of working with low numbers... why not hire more staff?
Thanks for this video,I was recruited in November 2022 at a care home as a team leader and up no induction no online training,abused by co workers and being received racist words.This is modern slavery,physically and mentally I am drained.They fully sponsored me from Africa.
That's just wrong 😕
From which Country?
This is good. I'm working as a domiciliary carer and I have been looking for sth different. This is a headstart
Go for it sis...
I also work in mental health and disability support living . Congratulations
Nice!...
How have you been finding it?
It’s been good. But sometimes it can be mentally draining.
Another thing about it is that if you have to be empathetic, caring at the same time firm to work in metal health as you will meet different types of people.
@@Folashade_momoh I feel you... I guess it's like that in Healthcare generally 🤷
@@TolaLusi yea. But HCA is more of physical stress while support in mental health is more of mental stress 😂. In all mental health is more chilling I won’t lie. I’m at work as I’m chatting with you 😂😂
Hi I'm here one month and days in the uk I only work for 2weeks staying home for 4weeks before another job came up ,makes me stress and depress,Can I change my career to something else, even cleaner,farmer etc?? Please
Unfortunately you can only work in the healthcare sector and that extra job you're doing can only be for 20hrs...
I was hired as a DSP a few months ago, and the process was a month. At that time I was stressing about finding a way to get to the assigned home. I let it go because I didn’t want to work there, truthfully. I’m wanting to phase out the work.
I’m such a good aide that I told my agency that I am quitting and they told me this is one of the best live in cases and I said that is good so that means someone else would be happy to have it,she then told me she’d be very frustrated if I left this case because I fit in and the family likes me. So I’m supposed to suffer for the agency and the family. Crazy!
Lol... while I understand your point 💯
I think it is still a huge compliment because most employers will not admit that you are a valuable member of staff, let alone say it to your face.
@@TolaLusi I understand where your coming from but it is becoming to much. The client goes to church every Sunday and to her family house and out to eat at predominantly white restaurants where I’m stared at,I am a live in and feel I don’t have a life of my own. I appreciate that they love me but in the beginning I told my client when she gets better we can walk more & she said yes then I can fire you. I also told her she can’t walk away from me without supervision,she said “well what are u gonna do,write it down?”I cooked her food and she said I must not like it because I’m serving her. Her family had my back but it’s hard to work with those type of comments being made & being waken up in middle of nights & early mornings. Would you be able to take it? even with the appreciation of your employer?
@@TolaLusi she has now become accustomed to me and doesn’t want me to leave but when I do I hope she remembers all those sarcastic comments made.
Thanks for this! Congratulations on your new Job, so happy for you! Please how do I switch to Mental health care from domiciliary care, please what certifications do I need to do?
I hope this helps 🙏

Thank you so much Tola for this video, it is helpful.
Please did the mental health place give you the sponsorship?
No sis
Hi I am offering care giving to my mother as a full time job. Sometimes my family helps me with money but not many times and I feel like my mother is able to run the place herself. She runs a farm. I am not a farmer and I don't enjoy being here. I do the records pay bills do accounts and basically also do nothing because it's 2 much for me. My family doesn't seem to care. My projects are running behind. Should I just leave my mother. She is 86 and she is able to do alot only she is not mobile but can still move around
You gave help then n NOW You got great job and you will most prob progress to Classroom Tutor goodjob! ❤

I need help urgently
Thank you very much for this Information, I just got across your channel and its been helpful and i couldn't help but subscribe 😍. Would like to know if its true that when applying to care homes, you must only work with them for the number of years given to you on your sponsorship and won't be allowed to quit? I have heard alot of people say this. I am applying from Nigeria
Depends on what is stipulated in your contract... it's different for everyone...
I have back shoulder pain, feet pain, stress, back pain ,anxiety whenever i have to go to work, sleep only 2 hrs during the day, I'm a night nurse in a care home, constantly get reminded that I'm on a visa,
✨️✨️✨️
Just watching this now, congratulations to you my Lusi 😗
Thanks... 😊😊😊
Like I have been looking for mental health job lift, right center but have now been lucky I will be glad if you will recommend me for any mental health care home that will sponsor me.
Congratulations on your new job.
Thanks 🤎
Lovely video care is not an easy job which part of mental health are you dealing with? I have seen some aggressive ones also not very easy to deal with but yes less physical work. Just wanted to find out if you get to choose which level of mental health you can deal with or its random patients/clients in mental health?
It's unpredictable if you work with an agent but I already have an idea of the kind or patients at My work place...
I am working in a care home as a nurse where I get bullied and get supervision letters for things i never got inducted .. finally I decided to quit
I don't even blame you...
I'm in Nigeria and I'm interested how do I go about it please

Ma can I start my process even with my BA? Asuu it’s still on strike and I’ve already started my online diploma. It’s discouraging cause I was told I need my BA for more certification
No you don't...
