May 10th we closed on our first home!!!! Since then we've been settling in, adding two pups to our crew. Life has been very full to say the least.
I know I broke this rule before, but I'm about to break it again. Work. Ugh.
I just need to clear my head.
My manager left our unit at the end of February, and our management took 3 long months to fill that void. In that time nightshift(what I work) lost a lot of our best staff... And my role has taken a nose dive. I'm the resource nurse, so I have my own set of things I need to accomplish, all while being a support for the staff nurses. And that has become an issue... I either feel like I'm performing my tasks well, or I'm a great support for the staff....there's rarely a night anymore where I feel I'm doing both well.
Which leaves me feeling like the floor mother, in all the worst ways. Not to mention the moral has been terrible lately, which only makes staff performance worse....
Typically I am able to handle a lot of stress, and remain calm; but this whole deal is so thankless and unrewarding....
We're to redefine roles for the resource nurse. Which is my one glimmer of hope for improvement... Time can only tell
