So FRUSTRATED

A friend and co-worker recently put up a post on facebook who posted this.....

I'm ready to find people who care about what they do and are proud of their contribution otherwise the other people should not deplete the oxygen of people who strive to make a difference and do care about their work and accomplishments

It kinda what got me to finally start this Blog.  I wanted to scream at the post "PREACH IT MY BROTHER".  I have been so frustrated lately.  I know not everyone that is hired to work in a nursing home is going to have the passion for it that I do...but...really?...Do they not even care?  Do they not see these little old people as human?  Do they have no work ethic at all?  Do they not feel guilty when they get home for doing LESS than half-assed work.

I just don't get it.  When I get off work, I sometimes can not sleep because I think of stuff that I didn't get done or something that I forgot to pass on to the next nurse.  I literally can't sleep or have dreams about it if I do sleep.

I just don't get it. How playing on your cellphone, or getting to your break at the exact scheduled minute is more important than taking care of your patient that is begging you to take her potty.  I have had nights where I have needed to pee for HOURS because I was just too busy to take 2 minutes, never-the-less and 30 minute break.

I just don't get it.  How someone can leave for the night knowing that their patients aren't clean, dry and comfortable.  If you don't care about your patients do you not even care about the mess you have left for your co-workers.

OK...so this is a short post, my rant is done for tonight.  I know that this blog will reach NONE of the eyes that I would like it to open, but maybe a few will read it that I know share in my frustrations and it will make them feel better knowing that someone else "just don't get it" either.  If you are that person, just remember these few words.....Take a deep breath, count to 10, close your eyes for 5 seconds, then walk away, because if you punch them in the throat....You will end up being the one in trouble...lol.
