nurse_c_

my original post I want to edit it so that so much information is not on it

how do I do edit?

I need help. I feel as if I am already burning out and I am a new nurse! I am working only one case in Pedi Homehealth. I do 12 hour shifts sometimes 16 depending on moms requests. He has a vent/trach & gtube. I provide all nursing care. I do not mind caring for the child. Mom is constantly wanting to go on outings with the child. I mean ALL DAY I have to carry with the vent machine, suction machine, CPT and cough assist machine. I do it all. I never complain. Even though I wish this mother would recognize that her child ends up sick when he goes out. His HR will increase he will posture so much. Along with the nursing notes she has a binder where she has us document basically everything we have to document already. She has made little cards posted of checklists of things we have to do around the room. She has a checklist for the diaper bag as well. (sometimes it is so much things I have to carry I end up forgetting something) I just don't know how to address her and let her know that I am not a baby sitter nor am I his mother. If she doesn't have the time to do everything she asks of me how can she expect me to do it? The child has constant secretions so it's not like I am not doing anything. Sometimes I leave and haven't even had a chance to eat in the 12 hours I am there, documenting is super hard when we go on these all day outings. But I feel as if she is not being realistic based on his conditions. I feel like I am going to have to switch patients even though I have grown to care for my patient but the Mother is just so much of a hand full!
