At least not as many as usual.
I'm getting memos from pharmacy and management about charting that's not getting done. The nurses who follow me are finding me the next day, and reminding me to take care of forms I failed to do on my shift. At my age, I'm afraid these oversights will be attributed to my advancing age, and my feeble mind. Instead of the truth, which is I don't have time to be the aide and the nurse both. I'm helping patients to the bathroom instead of crossing my t's and dotting my i's.
Where I work, they staff decent for nursing, but are eliminating the CNAs. Because I can do both jobs.
So. I'm letting that call light sound. Just because I'm sitting down, doesn't mean I'm doing nothing. I'm not stopping and filling ice pitchers, delivering coffee, or fetching warm blankets unless my nurse job is caught up. My fellow nurses have no problem letting their lights sound for 10-15 minutes. Neither am I.
If I'm to be reprimanded, suspended, or (shudder) fired, it's not going to be because I didn't waste that Dilaudid. It'll have to be because I didn't fluff a pillow. I can explain the pillow, not the Dilaudid.
