Nursing is a stressful job. Lots of responsibility. They change the meds on you all the time, change your charting all the time. This week you can do this, next week you can't. It changes daily sometimes.
This has been a stressful week. Lots of changes which dramatically increased our work load and stress level. bells and alarms ringing all night long. It drives you crazy. Makes it hard to think and get any charting done. I feel like the the insane asylum are running the hospital and it is just a matter of time before they drive all of us away or fire us. Moral is way down.
I long for my day off and this craziness to end. It is amazing how much change can be brought on a floor by people who don't work in a hospital under these setting. I love it when people who don't do my job tell me how to do it..
Anyway, my shoulder is killing me, my nerves are shot. Time for bed so I can wake up and do it all over again.

I hope you get some good sleep and that tonight will be a better night for you. Helen
Rest and recuperation sounds like a good idea. I worked in the hospital as a medic and I know exactly what you mean.
Relax and look forward to your next days off.

Take care julia
Our hospital is exactly the same. I've been off for a month with plantar fasciitis but I'm back today and not looking forward to it! I know we have a new boss who is changing everything; funny because she has never done our job! She's also sacking a lot of people who step out of line so you can understand my reluctance to go back there, I'm just wondering if I have any staff left! I hope things settle down for you this week.
