Wacky Wednesday Roll Call

Good Morning Everyone,
I am up late because everything hurts and I am doing some research online for alternative treatment options, since I am not thrilled with my new IOP group. 

I spent Tuesday evening in an ER, due to a Whack on my head.  Nothing broken, just sore and nauseous. 

Wednesday has me tidying and seeing my psychiatrist for my med check.  Then, I hope to get to an AA meeting.  Nothing exciting.

Hugs,
Trish

Feel better Trish

I've been pretty "off" all night.  And I realized after some reality checks smack in the face why.  I've been less and less thrilled w/ going to jersey for work.  It used to be a source of comfort for me, now it's a source of frustration.

I was beyond mad that I had to come here last night, and that's not right.  And when we got here a bunch of crap happened - we were left w/ three nurses...a full er...a heart attack in progress who needed to get to a bigger hospital ASAP, a stroke patient who needed a LOT of work...people in the waiting room...and then management made the insightful decision to make a nurse who has been a nurse for almost 2 full years less than myself and has about that many years LESS senority than me charge nurse...oh...and they didn't train her.  Granted - I've only have a few nights of training...but hot damn it...it sucked here.

I have decided to turn in my immediate resignation here.  I'm not coming back tonight.  For anyone who knows me they know this is TOTALLY not like my personality.  I am not one to leave people high and dry.  But my sanity is much more worth it, and when you are crying going to work and SCARED that your license is at risk...you know it's time.  The $$ was great and I will probably have to pick up another job closer to home to help with Brian's schooling and what not...but in the meantime will take these next two weeks to kind of recoup and get myself together.

So that's what I'm doing today.  Hanging around here to talk to the scheduler who happens to be my friend, to give her the resignation in person - she's actually not the one who NEEDS it - but my manager doesn't come in till 9am - and I am talking to the scheduler simply out of the fact that she's my friend and I'm giving her a heads up.  I'll be going to my parents house....dropping off the chairs and tables...and then headed home for two nights off.

I'm sad to leave my friends here...but I know deep down it is the right thing to do.......

I'm sorry that you had a bad night.

I keep hearing that St Lukes is looking for Per Diem nurses. They have campuses in Allentown and Bethlehem - maybe that is an option

*hugs*

call or text if you need anything!

I think you are making the right decision.  If your heart isn't in it and you don't want to be there, you are not going to be the best nurse you can be.  Check out St. Luke's or Sacred Heart.  I'm sure they need per diems.

Hang in there. 

I understand your decision and agree that you need to do something with that job.  If you are miserable there, it is not worth it.

You will land on your feet, as you are a motivated, energetic young lady.  Keep up that positive attitude.

Hugs,
Trish

Definitely the right thing to do.  If you're going to work and are stressing that much over it, its not worth it.  In my opinion, you should get your PHRN and come be a street skirt with me.  The pay sucks, you're out in all kinds of crappy weather and people call you for total nonsense, but oh the fun!

Good luck with this decision and the stress that will follow as you agonize over the decision.  Trust me, you made the right move!

 Good morning Pam and Trish.

Trish, I sure hope you feel better.  I am so sorry you are in all this pain.  I hope there is a positive end in sight.

Pam,  I have been there many times and know the frustration.   I hope things work at for you and you find another position.

Best wishes to both of you.
Geoff

Good morning Trish & PA friends -

Trish - oh my goodness, sorry to hear about your ER trip. Take care of yourself.

Pam - I'm sorry you're having such a rough time. If you feel it in your gut that you need to exit, go for it now. I think when you get these feelings about a job, they often don't go away and only get worse. You're right....your sanity is most important here. Good luck.


Today has me at wor****il 3:30. After that, I'll hit the gym for some cardio. Then it's the grocery store and home to do a load of laundry.

That's about it for me today. Hope everyone has a good day !

Lisa

Good Morning All -

Trish I hope you feel better! It's time for a change in your luck hun! Hang in there.

I had a very busy day yesterday and today doesn't look any better. AT least I only have 1 maybe 2 stops after work. I NEED to stop at the candy store. I have an appt after work tomorrow and won't have time to get there and friday I am off so it's today or not at all before Easter. I also want to stop and get some hanging flower baskets for my front porch before Easter, I have time for that though if I don't stop today.

I want to get home early, make dinner, straighten up so the cleaning lady can come tomorrow, and get to bed early!!

Have a good day all - sun should be poking out - YAY!!!

You still haven't gotten to that candy store yet?? LOL!! I've seen you post that most of the week - maybe with the weather finally on the upswing you'll get there tonight! Have fun!! My loving sister did send us a couple of boxes of sugar free chocolates for Easter (since I'm feeding her sons and grandson guess she felt it was the least she could do).
