So today I got called into the bosses office. NEVER a good thing. She told me that some coworkers were complaining that my work was not getting done. She was actually really nice about it (I was pretty miffed...if you have a problem with me, come to ME and I will fix it, I will do the same with you, that's how I roll). I am a visiting nurse, I see anywhere from 5 to 6 patients a day (3 days a week I see 5, 2 days a week I see 6). The days I ahve 5 patients are a 'catch up day' to finish up paperwork and make calls to dr offices.
We have recently started a Palliative Care program for patients who are not ready for Hospice but need some extra TLC. I LOVE Palliative Care....I was an oncology nurse before becoming a homecare nurse, and PC is a blend of the 2! The down fall of PC is that the patients are needy, understandably so, and require more time while with them (we are given about an hour a patient), sometimes close to 2 hours depending on how they are doing.
This was my schedule last week
Monday 6 patients
Tuesday 6 patients (and I was getting sick)
Out sick Wed
Out Thursday
Friday 6 patients
Monday 6 patients
Today 6 patients
Tomorrow they have me scheduled for 5 patients AND a 2 hour meeting at the hospital!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I will be talking to my boss tomorrow to let her know this is EXACTLY why I am often behind on my work. We are salaried, so no OT.
Needless to say my walls are twisted!
Now onto better topics........my boys!!!!
Cody had his 1st day of 1st grade yesterday!!!!!!!!!! He seems to like it, although I do have to send an email to his teacher to make her aware of some of his issues (I would hope it was discussed from teacher to teacher, but I don't want to assume).
Shane started K today! At our school, K is half day and the 1st day half the class goes, the 2nd day the other half, then the 3rd day they all start. Since our last name starts with a "Y" he went the 2nd day. However yesterday he came home and said
"Mom, no nap!!!!!!!"
me "why not?"
"Cause..... I'm a Kindergartener!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
He loves school and learning. He also picks things up so fast. He has the same teacher that Cody had last year for learning support, so this will be night and day for her!
Here is my 1st Grader!
And my baby!
Me and my La's
