I know why nurses are leaving the profession, it isd becuase they are sick and tired of being kicked in the teeth.
Got a heads up from a co-worker last night that my so-called manager is on one of her latest witch hunts, and its my turn again.
A few weeks ago on a busy shift through the course of a 12 hour shift I managed to overlook changing a diaper for the whole shift. I realized my mistake at the end of the shift when I completed mu last round of care for this baby and realized that my diaper was very heavy. Never mind that I was in charge that day with as many agency staff as core that could not give meds, start Iv's or draw heelstick lab, now who do you think did all that??? I also managed to start a picc on one of the other nurses pt that day, and only needed others to vital or feed my babies for one round. Or that I am the one who told on myself, if I had not said it out loud, no one would have ever known.
she has gone around to collect written statements regarding this event from those that were there that day. WTF. I am sure that it can just go right in my employee file with all of her commendations for coming in on my day off to put in piccs, all of the OT that I put in, the extra projects that I complete on my own time.... Oh wait, I don't think she has mentioned any of that.
Except for her couple of golden children, the one who carry those sharp little daggers that slide in your back so sharply, and of course they never make mistakes..... like forgetting to restart insulin infusions, of incorrectly running dopamine infusions, or accidently setting an iv rate at 40 that should have been 14. The only times us peons exist is when we are in trouble.
sorry for the rant, but just had to blow some steam.
