OK, I'm writing this because I need to vent. It's 1:45 in the morning and I just got home and sat down. Tonight I had to work at the front nurse's station. It's been a week since I worked that area, and then I really wasn't working....I was orientating. I have been there one week and had to work every hall in that place. That's one of my problems with this place. There's nothing that is a constant for those residents. They need to see the same faces on the same schedule every week. I am on a different assignment every night. How am I supposed to get to know these residents in order to give them more efficient nursing care???? And they are so disorganized! Supplies should be fully stocked at each nurses station, but they are not. I had to stop giving medications three times this evening to run all the way to the far end of the building to retrieve needed supplies, such as formula for tube feedings, lancets and alcohol pads for glucose monitoring, etc.. Talk about wasting a lot of time running around!
Most of the staff there seem to be friendly and likeable, but there ARE those lazy ones that only want to do the bare minmum and then get ugly with you when you ask them to do something for one of the residents. Although I have noticed which ones do their work and which ones barely scoot by. Someone just needs to come in, clean house, and organize that place. I can't wait for the time when I can speak my mind to someone who will listen and do something about it. 'Nuff said.
