So went the message that I got on my phone today, from my DON.
*sigh*. I haven't called her back yet. I don't work again until Monday night.
There's a MYRIAD of reasons why she could be calling me.
I have a 54 bed unit all to myself every night, with only two aides.
I have to pass meds, do finger sticks, treatments, charting, census,
stock carts, clean carts, bowel list, I+O's, trach care on one resident,
obtain UA's, SUPPOSED to do filing but I still don't know where the
"to be filed" stuff is kept... breathing treatments, check crash cart,
paperwork for ppl going out the next morning.. take off any orders
not taken off... the list just seems to go on and on...
I don't see how I can **EVER** be successful at this job and
I'm ready to just quit. I am looking again, for something else.
LTC just isn't my bag; psych is. *sigh* There are some psych
jobs available, but at state facilities... it takes FOREVER to get
hired.
*double sigh*
