Ok well my first day at trying to be in charge was an unpronounced disaster, I made a really stupid mistake when I was triaging a patient didn't ask the right question and I should on made her more urgent I did get the patient seen by the sho about getting stronger pain relief he did ask about how the injury happened and some history but he didn't pick up on my mistake either. So one of the sisters tells me off in the middle of a main corridor of A&E, and then just my luck the nurse I get on with least and who loves to make me feel like a total imbecile she goes on at me for ages. I freely admit that I made a big mistake but did they have to humiliate me and make me feel even worse that I was making myself feel. The patient was fine. I made the fatal mistake of crying, not with the sister in the corridor but with the other nurse who I don't get on with about 3 mins into her lecture. She was really nice to me all evening after that but I don't trust her and I know it will get back to the sister and my manager and probably most of the department that I was upset and I don't get upset easily with my family I can't.

Don't worry, we didn't get anything. Each department had to do a stand to display in the main concourse for the public to look at. But we got nothing from the management or the hospital or even the doctors. We did manage to bribe one of the doctors last year to buy a chocolates for nurse's day last year. Oh I forgot, we did have a banner on the front of the hospital saying that the trust celebrated international nuraea day. We didn't even get an e-mail from the chief executive. So think yourself lucky, you got cake. Guess that proves UK management don't really give a stuff about their nurses. :angryfire :angryfire :angryfire
