Confession of a care home nurse pt 1
This is a story of taboo sexual desire and perversion. Reader beware!
Firstly let me introduce myself; I am Jon a 22 year old Nursing graduate from the UK, I have recently finished my studies at University and I am now looking for work in my chosen career in A and E. [yes a bit like George Clooney in ER].
Having applied for several jobs in Hospitals in my local area without success, I begin looking at other jobs in the care sector and come across an advert in the local paper for a nursing/carer in an old peoples care home. Although it is not really what I am looking for I decide to apply anyway as it might be good experience, so I send my CV with covering letter.
A week goes by and no reply has come. I begin to think it is another job gone, then the following day a letter arrives, I quickly open it in anticipation and to my surprise and relief it is an invite for an interview at the old people's home at 2 pm. today. Brilliant I think at last the possibility of a job. I rush to get ready and put on my best suit as I want to create a good impression.
I arrive at the care home and go up to the reception desk, I give my name and state that I am here for an interview. The receptionist shows me to an office where a rather stern looking lady is sitting waiting for me. "You must be Jon. My name is Pauline I am the matron, please take a seat." She says kindly.
She goes through my application and asks the usual questions, I try to give suitable answers.
She seems quite impressed and after some time deliberating says, "Well Jon, I would like to offer you the post as a junior nurse. However I must tell you, before you reply that it will be in the ladies wing are you OK with that?"
I consider my reply carefully, "Yes I am fine with that. When shall I start?"
She tells me to come in the next day for a tour of the home and to meet the other staff.
I thank her for the offer and wish her goodbye and depart. I rush home excitedly to tell my mother about the offer, I know she will be pleased that I have finally got a job.
And so my first day at the care home begins. I arrive early and am greeted by Pauline at the main entrance. "Good morning and welcome Jon!" She says with a huge smile which puts me at ease immediately.
She leads the way on a tour of the building, showing me the all the facilities and the nursing stations. Finally we end up at the ladies wing where I will be working. It is a long corridor with large polished wood doors on either side numbered from 1 to 12, each room has one occupant.
I ask about them, things like any medical conditions they have and ages etc.
Pauline tells me, "They all have some medical issues mainly related to old age. They range from 70 to 90 years old!"
On each floor of the home is a resident's lounge where they can meet and chat together or watch TV or play games. They can also have drinks there too, although nothing alcoholic unless it's Christmas.
After the tour I meet the other staff I will be working with. A young female nurse, Isabel and older nurse called Mary. They tell me my duties and for the first few days I will work alongside Isabel just to learn the routine.
Isabel says, "We have to go and check on the ladies, first thing in the morning and get them up and dressed. Follow me Jon we will start with room 1 the ladies name is Patricia, she is 78 years old but very lively."
We knock on the door and a loud voice says, "Come In!"
