Social Servie Professional NOT STNA.
I'm sick of companies wanting to hire me then toward the end of interview, they want to know if I can lift 100lb and do personal care if STNA calls off. I wont agree to personal care task or lifting because If I could do these task I would apply for them. So many Nursing home and home health agencies are confused about the role of Social Services. Sick of seeing this and most do it because Social service is usually salary so they save money by not filling hours with STNA/hourly staff. This is so wrong I'm not getting hired do to job description outside my field of study.
Legit Beef. I Agree, Time is Money. Do what is necessary to keep Your Damn job winer. You sound like Our current president.
Hi Sheila: You should not have to if that was not the position your applied for. Here's a few suggestions for social services position near your area. Let me know if you need any more help.
OK Sheila, this is my opinion on the matter. First I'd like to say that I understand your position as a Social Worker. But look at it this way, when you are interviewing, there is nothing that is above you, you will go above and beyond to keep the facility flowing. Think about real life situations, where managers have to open a register and work until the lines go down or when an RN has to pull up her sleeves and do the work of a CNA because there is no one else around. Think emergency situations, don't ever limit yourself or make yourself appear to not be a team player. In life you will at times have to play another role to accomplish a task. It's not the end of the world. You can at least sound as if you can and will help to lift a patient when need be. Tell me your thoughts on this.
