Hubby told me every time it’s too hard I quit. Like this new job. Why don’t I sit down with the manager and talk it out.
The fact is it’s not hard work it’s just a big load. They load you all the time with no time to rest.
I’m tired. I can’t do it. Yesterday when the manager came out she asked me when I’m back. Told her not until after the New Year.
She then commented I hope you come back .
I was thinking may be I won’t . Yesterday was a crappy day.
Though for a minute there a nurse asked me a question and I’d nearly changed my mind.
She was like I need to ask you something . Haloperidol 0.5mg that’s a low dose? I replied with another question how old is the patient ? 70-80? That’s okie they tend to give low doses in the elderly .
Do they come in 0.5mg? Yes they do they come in 0.5mg, 1.5mg and 5mg tablets.
I saw her again later on. She thanked me and said she’s found the 0.5mg tablets .
That point in time I was thinking I do love my job . I do love it that I am helpful.

God, talk about synchronicity. I had the same feeling today at my job. It’s so 100% the reverse of my old job that sometimes it makes me wonder what the hell I’m doing there. But then I helped someone who thanked me a zillion times, gave me a hug, and wished me a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. That made all the difference to me, and I left feeling like maybe it wasn’t so bad. And so it goes…

yes and you get sucked in. Manager is one that is younger than me. Guess that’s what happens when you don’t protect your position by going up the ladder . You get told what to do. I had a 20 something told me I had to put instructions on the label exactly as the doctor has ordered it. The doctor ordered 1-3 every 2 hours post op of a strong pain killer.
Can’t put same instructions on it at discharge? it’s not safe. But according to her what the doctor ordered is what the patient gets unless I ring the doctor up to change the order . Um waste of my time and the doctor’s time? Where is common sense? Hence the reason I’m leaving .
To me it means do no harm and if I stay there any longer I will do some harm. So better for me to leave.

It sounds like it, Vy. Nothing worse than dreading going in to a place you hate. We’re moving next year anyway, so this job is really only temporary for me. I’ve decided I really want to work at an academic institution and not a public library anymore. So at least I know what I want now, even for a part-time job. Hang in there!

I will only 4 weeks left and I am out of there. Hopefully January will be quiet as the doctors will all be on holidays.
