Finally A Good Day

Got to work on Sunday 3-11 and the nurse going off duty gave me report and obviously had one of the worst days a nurse could have on the job. A lot of changes are going on for the better in the facility, (construction, etc.) so residents are not in their comfort zone right now. Again the families of residents can be hell on a nurse. Families had consistently called this nurse and rammed her for the construction and other changes that were causing their loved one to be upset, because the residents were calling the family members several times a day (work, home, etc.)which in turn was aggravating the family member, so family members took it out on the nurse. If people would think in the first place, why would anyone call a nurse to jump on her back about the construction, or maintenance, etc.? After what the nurse had told me, I just knew my evening was going to be just as bad but I WAS BLESSED as I did pray before I went on duty, (you need it in this profession). I actually had a pretty good night and I EVEN GOT a 20 MINUTE BREAK!!! I guess miracles do happen!! And what was even better, I ACTUALLY CLOCKED OUT AT TEN MINUTES AFTER 11!!! However I know I was to enjoy this one night because it probably won't happen again for awhile and as for the other nurse..I really felt for her because I know my time is coming...until the next blog...
