Good evening GG's,
Two days down ~ one to go. Feeling tired again tonight. It was a stressful day at work ~ not so much for me, but for my coworkers. I felt bad for them ~ so maybe my tiredness is like sympthy tiredness or something
I'm probably not making much sense.
The census was down, so they floated off our staff. They staff us for what the census is at the moment, and say that when the admissions start coming they will provide us with more help ~ not. It never happens. The poor charge nurse then has her own patients, has to do the admissions (which is quite a lengthy process), plus has to deal with the problems of her coworkers if they need help and guidance. Some of the ladies do well at that, others are not cut out for that. Even those who seem to handle it pretty well get overwhelmed sometimes. Our regular charge nurse is out because of surgery. So the other ladies are having to fill in. Some not by choice, but because they are more or less pushed into it. The one today was one who has no desire to be in charge but was pushed into it. Poor lady ~ she looked like she wanted to cry sometimes.
I started to post with the intent of adding some comments, but now, I think I will just head to bed.
Hope you all rest well.
Take care
