Argh so pissed off

So sick of this job. The last hour before knocking off everything went crazy…resident with chest pain, another with a skin tear and oh my stupid pen leaked and i got ink all over my clothes, hand, face, door. Being that all this happened and I’m freaking short staffed again meaning that I’m the only nurse looking after 130 odd patients I didn’t have time to hand out all the 0600 medications. And then people had the nerve to get all bitchy at me because I didn’t get the tablets handed out and because a resident wasn’t showered. Oh excuse me! It is not my fault if at 0600 when I’m meant to start tablets someone has chest pain and I have to stay with her for 45mins. And now it’s like 30mins since I was supposed to knock off and I’m here filling out incident reports because someone didnt report a skin tear they caused yesterday evening. Because yes that’s just what you want to be doing after being awake all night. And my back is in incredible pain and I’ve got the taste of ink on my lips. I’m not great at handling stress but I’m getting better but it’s not even that. In just sick of all the bitchiness. Seriously this is not what I signed up before. Why would anyone freaking decide to be a nurse?

I’m done. Giving up whatever. Rant over. I better get back to paper work before I burst into tears.

Just got told by a man that when he see’s me his heart throbs and I’m his favourite…

Unfortunately said man is 81 :/

:p

Exhausted

It’s 2am on my fourth and final night shift this week and I’m not doing too well. I’ve reached the state of exhaustion when your head hurts, your body aches and about two steps away from tears.

And I’m already stressing because I have to start work again at 7am tomorrow morning. 7AM after a week of being nocturnal. Crap. I’m considering calling in sick because the shift is on the hardest/heaviest side and I’m working short staffed and I haven’t been worked on that side for months. So coupling that with the fact that I’m already exhausted and feeling sick I’m not sure if I’m up to taking that on. The only annoying thing is that it is a Saturday shift and therefore really good pay.

And then I’ve got church on Sunday, early shift on Monday (starting at 7) and then a night shift again on Tuesday.

I really really want a job with regular waking/sleeping times. My health at the moment does not cope well with the continual change in shifts nor has it been good for my mental health.

Idk. It all just feels hard right now.

TMI TUESDAY

You know what do!

Tonight’s night shift food of choice. #theylastforever #childhood #redskins #nightshift #nursing

Just started my first night shift of four this week! I haven’t done that many in a row before…becoming a one of those creepily odd night workers ;) but anyway you know the drill….TALK TO ME! It’s keeps me going throughout the night ;)

Work. #nursing #nightshift #work #430am

My mum and sister have come up to visit me for Easter which has been so much fun! Can’t believe my little sister is getting married in 20 days!!!

My mum brought with them though the full edition of the Les Miserables movie soundtrack and we went for a road trip today pretty much so we could listen to it I think.

I’m currently on night shift. It’s 130am. I cannot get ‘lovely ladies’ out of my head.

I just keep singing it.

Awks
