I have not really been using this blog too much lately. I figured maybe I did not really have much interesting to say anyway! But sometimes you just feel like ranting a little...........
I have not been in my happiest of moods lately b/c some stuff was bothering me. Nothing worth speaking about.........
But since I was already not in the best of moods this day seemed especially butt flavored. It all started when this girl I work with had some surgery done a few weeks ago. She was not sick but getting liposuction! I wished her well and hugged her before she left. And I told her to let me know how she was doing.
She is not a GOOD friend, but a friend. We've worked together for a year. Well she is back at work now and everyone was talking about the really funny thank you card she'd given to everyone.........a thank you for what, I did not know. No one showed me the card.
And when I asked about it, I was told that everyone pitched in and bought HER a card and a present right before she left for her surgery!!! No one even told me about it :( My name was not on the card and I did not give them money for the gift. She prob. thinks I didn't even care!! But they deliberately left me out for some reason..........I was mad!!
Then I sat a patient in a room while the doctor watched me do it. It was a quick wound check and should have been a 5 minute visit. I put the chart on the wall like I'm supposed to and walked away. I presumed the doctor would go in after I left. He did not. The patient sat there for an HOUR and no one saw them!
Of course it was my fault. I did not TELL the doctor he had a wound check. But he SAW me put them in there!!! I did not think I needed to tell him too. Is he blind??? But I got in trouble.
Then I went to seat another patient and we are supposed to take the charts in order they are stacked at the desk. I took the next one in line, called their name, then I get rushed by another nurse telling me I called the wrong one back! Someone else was supposed to be next. How would I know?? I just grabbed the chart that was next. It was the triage desks fault, not mine!
But I got in trouble for that too. And for setting the patient in a room that we were apparently not using that day (which no one told me about either!!!)
Then I got admonished for putting a sticky note on someone's desk saying we were out of toilet paper. I did not write the stupid note but it was stuck to the cabinet in the back for hours and I assumed it needed to go on the desk of the person in charge of replenishing supplies.
The nurse who wrote it chased me down and asked me why I put the note on the desk when she wasn't done writing on it. She had lots of other things to add to it and I never should have touched it. Ahhhhh! So she wrote 'we need paper towels too' and then stuck it on the desk herself. That's LOTS of other stuff? Why not just make a new note? Did it really matter that much???
*sigh*
It was just a bad day.........one of those days where it seemed like I could do nothing right at all.........
Does anyone else have a day like that? You want a do-over! But I am starting to hate my job.........not the job itself but the people. Nobody is nice. And I still don't know why they excluded me from the gift exchange. I did not ask. I was too hurt to bother :(
Mean people suck.........
