I was given the opportunity to do a nursing home medical internship this year, as part of my Artistic activities.
I have a lot to think about, when I do and experience myself.
The nursing care job itself starts at the lowest wage in Japan, which is 1100 yen. ($8)
Ordinary manual or clerical work pays better.
So it is hard work and not a popular job in Japan.
Also, they are very particular about appearance and require black hair. Tattoos are of course not allowed here.
For my Intern, I hide my tattoos.
I think the salary should be higher.
It is a very important job that involves human “lives”.
However, if you want to do something for people, it is great and challenging job.
It is better to have basic knowledge and qualifications, but there is nothing special about it, and in the end, it really comes down to how much you can do as a “human being” and with love, without thinking of it as someone else's business.
The other day, I was with an elderly lady with dementia who was talking all the time, and her hair ornament had almost fallen off her head, it was hanging down, looked like it aches.
When I put it back on, she became silent for a while, and then smiled at me. Then she started talking again…
It wasn’t on manual job. I just did it because if I was her, I thought I will appreciate it.
