The big complaint from the newbies at work is that I talk too much during assessments which makes them take too long. I'm not sure they quite understand the concept that you need to be approachable in order for people to open up to you.
We primarily assess for short term in home services. We go to home, complete biopsychosocial, then refer to 3rd party agencies for in home counseling.
Your job sounds neat. I wouldn't let some bad apples drive me out of there either. Where are you guys recruiting from ? Or maybe just bad luck with these new girls and not from the same place ?
I don't know where they recruit. One of the girls was an employee referral, someone in our department who is actually great at the job. Personally, I stumbled upon them in a search for another position.

Interesting. Some times you just don't know until you see someone in action. I recruited a friend to my relief job. She absolutely loved it for her first year now. But she got brutally attacked recently and wants out. I feel awful for how it all turned out risky referring people for that reason too.
I'm at a er. The security team thinks I'm nuts for wanting a chair in the security center. Sorry I don't want to be in a pitch black room with a sleeping person. 1. Liability 2. Boring 3. Need light to read. Although I am on TCF. But anyways. The security team is full of so much drama and they are not censoring it because I am sitting here. I guess it's entertainment ??
It does sound entertaining.My office is cubicle city. Nothing but girls and drama.
I have to head to bed. I have to be at a funeral at 9:30 am and it's an 1 hour and 30 minutes away.
Good night. Nice chatting with you. Sorry you have to go to a funeral. Hope you are doing ok.
It's for my great aunt who was in her 90's. We weren't close. More of a family obligation to be in attendance. That sounds super cold, but im not sure how else to explain.
Sorry you can't sleep. But if I keep responding am I making it worse or better ? My book is boring. I think I'm getting sick of Jo.dy Pi.ccoult. All of her books are kinda the same
I haven't read any of her new stuff in awhile. But I agree that all her books seem to deal with the same kinds of issues and storylines.

Can't sleep. Ugh.
Me neither. I had just fallen asleep when my dog woke me up crying. Apparently she had to go outside RIGHT NOW. And now I'm back in bed and my other dog is snoring and keeping me awake.
The security guards here said if I slept they wouldn't tell on me and that all the people from my program Do it. Tempting but if you are telling. Me others do it that means you are sorta telling on us. If I get fired from the relief job for sleeping pretty sure I get fired from the regular job too since it's all the same campus. So no, gotta be awake. I need a new second job to pull through with the quickness
I'm sure our security guards take turns napping. If they are giving you the ok.. Do it! It can be your 30 mins break.
Waving hi! Just got excited that someone posted in here recently what time is it where you guys are at?
2:15am...ugh
230 here :/ I remember the good old days just coming back from the bars at this time. Happily drunk. Now I'm just working trying to make money staying up all night lol

Are you an overnight nurse? Am o remembering that or confusing you with some one else. Also might nap because you sound reliable
Yes! And yes to napping but you can really do whatever you want on your break.

I'm all alone. No break
Oh really?? Are you in charge of anyone? I think it would be no big deal if someone could take over for you, but the fact you are all alone makes it different. I'm alone on my unit too. Just 1 nurse and 1 nurses assistant.

I'm not on my job site. I was on call/back up. In with someone at the ER. They are sleeping. I have no responsibilities asides being awake and supportive.
What kind if unit do you work on?
I'm a medical surgical nurse and soon to be telemetry certified as well. So I take care of a wide range of patients. Some can be elective surgeries, emergent, elderly patients who fall and fracture their hip, or medical problems like COPD. Do you like sitting? I used to love it when I was in school. I never did over nights though.
Are you there to make sure they are safe and don't pull out stuff or leave the E.D? If yes, I'd call you a sitter I love being a nurse! It's what I've always imagined doing. I've worked at the same hospital for 10 years, 6 as a nurse. My mom also worked here for like 20 years so I still run into people who worked with her. I was always a day nurse but switched to nights in October. I totally have a love/hate relationship as well.

Yes I am defiantly sitting. It's nice to hear you like your job. My MIL is an overnight nurse. And my sister is a new nurse, so new I don't think she had her first day yet. Maybe Monday.
Omg how exciting for your sister! I'm sure she's so nervous
