man
this dream job is really a dream but i need a new job. my favorite most loved patient died yesterday and i literally lost it. i couldn't help it. i loved her. and then today my supervisor tells me i really need to start getting out on time. i was 5.5 hours over last week. yeah well you know what? having 21 sub acute patients is not easy and i am doing my best. my supervisor tells me i will have to report to the director of nursing when i have to punch out late. thats perfectly fine. i will say each and every time that i am doing my job thoroughly and if she wants it done right i will do it so, but theres no way around it and i'm sorry. no you know what i'm not sorry i can't believe they think i can do this all in 8 hours and be safe and be a good nurse and be thorough. there's just no way. oh AND i have been orienting people for the last two weeks which doesn't help. i can see how it's possible for the other units and even the other shifts but on the 7-3 it's not possible to get out on time every day.
so on a lighter note i was at the gym at my regular time on thursday (5am) and just got out of the shower with my scrubs on and was doing my hair when a woman comes up to me and asks where i work. i tell her and she says to apply to umass and gives me her name and tells me the street she lives on and to drop off my info. she says "if you remember my name, use me as a reference on your application". i asked her if i was dreaming. she said no, it's just that no one gives new grads a chance and that umass needs good nurses. tomorrow if saturday. you bet your ass i am working on my resume after i'm done this entry and i'm dropping off my info tomorrow morning. i want a new job so bad. and if i work per diem i can get 40 bucks an hour. 40! thats nice! i could get a new car. and pay off my loans quicker. it would be nice. i could be a better nurse and a safer nurse and leave this hell hole that i am working in. i hope this woman is for real and i really can get a job there if i just keep calling and applying.
wish me luck.
