There was a discussion I was reading about customer service and what normal, reasonable people perceive to be good patient care. I like to talk with my patients, inform and educate about what I am doing so that they may feel a bit more empowered in their care. Or at least, have a better understanding of why Im doing what I'm doing!
I feel like (and was taught that) part of what the whole process should be involving people in their own care, being kind and considerate, and preserving dignity.
The problem is that I can't possibly to this and get my med passes done on time! My employer (like a lot of others) piles the work load on so thick that there is just no time!!!
I take the time anyways, but I end up being late and staying over a few hours each shift
With the way things are run, I found that i hate LTC/SNF, I am ineligible for hire at a hospital right now (too new).
If they run you this ragged at the hospitals then, I don't wanna do that anyways!!
CAn someone tell me an area where I could spend some decent time with patients, and not simply shove pills in their mouths all day long ?!
