Some guy shit on my hand and shoe today. BLEEEEEEEEEEEEEH!
With my patients it seems to be all about them! They are the only patient I have to look after obviously! So I have 6 patients to start of with and the other girl has 5 cause she is a new grad. So midmorning, I find out I am getting another patient... and the other girl goes "oh yeah, she'll take it, I am too busy". Hello??? like I am less busy than you? I already have 1 extra patient.
I get the two patients up who cannot look after themselves, one of them shits on the floor, on me and all over himself. Then he gets back from his CT and shits blood all over the place again. So i have to call his doctor and all. 2 patients going for CT, neither of them got their oral contrast on time cause no one told me about it. One lady going through the DT's (alcohol withdrawal for anyone who doesn't know). Thank goodness for patients who can look after themselves or I may have gone insane. This just shows me more clearly how much i can't cope. I didn't make 3 peoples beds out of the 7, I didn't shower one guy, I didn't do obs until midday! The scary thing is, that in most jobs, you have a bad day, or you find you hate it and you get over it, in my job, you have a bad day and you could kill someone! I feel like I am stuck with no where to go from where I am in this job. I don't really wanna go back to uni, but I don't wanna stay where I am, and if i went back to Uni where would I get the money from?
I dunno what to do. I am in a total rut.
Gonna go play some games now, there is something I am good at :p
