-: What keeps me excited about my job
is just knowing at the end of the day
that I have helped somebody.
I think if you're in, no matter what field you're in,
if you're in medical, or if you're in the field
of wanting to help people
you have a side of you that has always longed to do that.
I think, for me, that's the greatest.
I felt like I'm here to help somebody,
and I think that's what's keeping me going
even though I'm working with someone who's 95 years old
and someone else might look at them, like, oh, they're 95.
To me they're 95 and they're eating well,
and I'm keeping them safe,
and getting them to be comfortable,
sometimes, at especially end of life.
At the end of the day I know that I've done a good deed
and that's what sits well with me
and that's what keeps me going.
I think the demands that are put on you
are often, we often say at work,
life in general has just gotten really busy
and when you're at work and you have certain demands
or expectations that are need to be met
and the realistic approach is you're working
with individuals, you're working with humans.
That could be a challenge sometimes,
but you just have to stick to your guns and
as you go you get stronger in who you are as a person,
you get strong in your clinical approaches and you find
what's going to be best for you as an individual
and also what's best for the resident
or individual wherever you're working,
what's going to be best for them too.
I think that's the biggest challenge.
