I have moved areas at work. I am now working in High Security. But the area I am in is a medium level of security for high security (if that makes sense). There are 10 consumers and they are all "high functioning", on my first day they were all out of the ward by about 10am.

I enjoyed working in medium secure. A few people who I have chatted with, when I said I was coming from Medium Secure pretty much indicated that I would be fine in High Security. Some even said I could have started in one particular unit and been fine! (It was the admission unit for high security, the unit where consumers who are acutely pyschotic with some kind of alleged criminal activity associated with them). I think I will really like it where I am. A few of the consumers who I had the chance to chat with were polite and spoke back nicely.

Apart from the work change, I have been to a hitching (where I was the video-camera lady). Alan is going to send me a copy of the DVD he made from it so I can see. There are even some deleted scenes!! hee hee. I attended a 21st bday... everyone is growing up so fast! I can't believe that I will be 24 this year. Getting old!! *unpacks the walking cane*

Yeah I was wondering too about these "consumers".... then I realised KL was talking about patients!!! Maybe he should be locked up too?!

It depends on where you work:

At Uni: patients were clients
At hospitals (while on pracs): depending on the nurse patients or clients
At my work: they are consumers... there was talk of even going to service user...

Currently at my work, depending on the nurse depends on whether they are patients, clients or consumers. It can get very confusing...
