OMG Bert did I just use my outside voice??!!!


Give me that fuckin' thing I'll do it. :D
 
Fuck it.......I'm going to lunch.

Maybe it will be cleaned up by the time I"m back.
 
Note to self #1: Must start reading the several previous pages in a Blurt thread to be sure no one will think I'm talking about them when I post my blurt.

Note to self #2: Must not worry what people think.
 
,..our lives are what we make it......we have no one to blame but ourselves....and no one to thank but ourselves....

...time for me to fade.....bye ya'll.....:rose:
 
maybe i'm just overreacting, but i need to vent a little... this seems a good place to do it :)

so.... first thing this morning i come into work as always, get my day started, see my patients, everything's going ok. around 9 my manager comes in and asks me to come to her office when i get a free moment... well fuck, what did i do now?

So i go to her office and sit down (i knew this wasn't gonna be good). So she asks me how the job is going and how i'm adjusting to the high census we've had. I told her i've been doing ok. So far so good. Then she said she wanted to address some things that my coworkers have had to say about me. number 1: apparently I sit at the desk too much. wtf? the only time i sit down is to chart, look up patient's results, look up information for myself related to patient care or occasionally just catch my breath. and i am sure as hell not the only person who sits down. I mean come on. It's a 12 hour shift. Am i really expected to be on my feet and in the patients rooms for the whole 12 hours? yeah right!!....

Moving on to the second point she made: i'm not a "team player" because i don't answer other people's call lights.... umm 1. they're other people's call lights, 2. we have CNAs to help answer call lights and 3. no one else ever answers my call lights so why the fuck should i answer theirs??? not to mention, I do answer other people's call lights... I'm not happy about it, but i'm not gonna leave patients waiting. I spent more than an hour with a patient that wasn't mine. But that doesn't matter to my manager apparently. and by the end of her little tirade about me not being a team player, she says "You're a new nurse, Liz and no one expects you to have the extra time to help out other nurses or answer other's call lights."... well what the fuck were you just bitching about?????

Her third point was what really pissed me off. She said that the charge nurses don't like the way i give them report. Apparently it's not ok to say "He's fine now. Earlier *insert somewhat critical event here* happened, but I took care of it. The doctor is aware of what happened and here's the orders the doc gave me"... apparently it makes them nervous that i don't need to call them for every thing that happens to my patients. Well excuse me for being competent at my job and knowing how to handle a critical situation without calling for extra help. WTF? you'd think they'd like that i can handle it on my own. And when I do need the help I do call the charge nurse for help. I've only had to do so 6 times in the past year... I think that's a fucking good thing! GRRRRR... :mad:

.... ok better now :D

Sorry to hear that Lizziebeth. Sounds to me like you have a manager who likes to micromanage. What's worse is that she is listening to others instead of checking for herself...

Hope you have a better day tomorrow.
 
Depressed, I got a major setback notice from the general surgeon I will be going back under the knife and I am still in recovery from a Triple A Repair in March...Gheesss what the F is next....maybe I might as well take up smoking again..LOL and drinking(never did that one before)...Well the bible say give wine to those of heavy heart and hard drink to those about to die....I wonder where beer falls?
 
I used to laugh at you, now I actually feel sorry for you.

I hate these human emotions :D
 
The birds are singing my cats are stalking them...................ah life is where it should be :)
