I haven't posted anything on this category since forever and I suppose it speaks much for the state of mind am I in, in terms of this JOB.
Well, it certainly has it's up and downs like any other job so I feel it almost futile to not even vent of the frustrations and predicaments of the sleeping sheep. Oh, what the fuck, I'll just do it in point form.
1. Being Resource Nurse, which is such a token role full of baloney - meant to only satisfy the JOINT COMMISSION's need for a designated leader totally SUCKS!
Had to spend 40 minutes listening to this daughter rant and cuss about how displeased she was about her mother's nurse and yaddah yaddah yaddah! 40 fuckin minutes of my precious time that I could've been spending with my own patients, or perhaps finally finding the time to eat or even take a fuckin piss! So I suppose being Resource Nurse allows me the benefit of being
exposed to such negative energy. Let me tell you, I was totally drained after that, that my stomach hurt like hell!
2. Spent 20 minutes talking to a family whose nephew that came to visit came in as a
drunken bastard and the family didn't want any commotion to arise once their son who is soon to arrive - planning to beat the shit out of this nephew .. so like I have to call security and the House Supervisor and monitor this drama-like scenario?!
3. Having to walk from Room # 2214 all the way to Room# 2254 as these are the rooms that my patients occupy (and I'm thinking all day, like, isn't the Olympics over yet? Am I in the Walkathon race or WTF?) - I only had 6 patients, God Bless Me!
4. I suppose it wasn't all THAT bad .. since 5 out of the 6 patients told me I was the
best nurse they have ever encountered

D
And that my folks is the ONLY PAYMENT worth receiving! Acknowledgment for efforts beyond the beyond!
So much for point form.
