WELL HERE IT IS MONDAY AND I AM STARTING ANOTHER WEEK OF THE GO TO WORK SICKNESS. IT'S NOT THAT I DISLIKE BEING A NURSE, IT IS THAT MY JOB IS NOT ABOUT NURSING, IT IS MORE LIKE AN ASSEMBLY LINE OF GET THEM IN GET THEM OUT, LET THE DR. GET REVENUE. BOTTOM LINE MEET THE QUOTA SET FORTH BY THE QUOTE "NON-PROFIT" ORGANIZATION. LET'S SEE, WHAT HAPPEN TO THE COMPASSION, THE QUALITY, THE EVERY PATIENT MATTERS THEME THAT WE ARE SUPPOSE TO UPHOLD? IN ORDER FOR THE DR. TO BREAK EVEN ON HIS PAYCHECK HE HAS TO SEE 19 A DAY. OKAY WE WORK 4 1/2 DAYS AND THAT MEANS 95 PATIENTS HAVE TO BE SEEN TO BREAK EVEN. AND THAT CALCULATION IS ON AN ESTABLISHED LEVEL 3. NEW PATIENTS MAKE UP FOR ABOUT 1 1/2 ESTABLISHED PATIENTS. BUT, IF YOU DON'T SPEND TIME WITH A PATIENT AND SHOW THEM THAT YOU CARE THEN YOU AREN'T GOING TO GET THEM BACK. SIMPLE AS THAT. AND ON A NEW PATIENT THERE IS A LOT THAT HAS TO BE ENTERED INTO THE COMPUTER, NOT ONLY BY THE FRONT DESK, BUT BY MYSELF ALSO. THE DR. DOESN'T UNDERSTAND THAT BECAUSE HE DOESN'T PUT ANYTHING INTO THE COMPUTER. OKAY HOUSTON WE HAVE A PROBLEM HERE. IF WE AS PEON EMPLOYEES HAVE TO FOLLOW GUIDELINES THEN THE PHYSICIAN SHOULD TOO BECAUSE THEY ARE EMPLOYEES ALSO. LAST FRIDAY I HAD TO CLOCK OUT 2 1/2 HOURS BEFORE MY SHIFT ENDED BECAUSE I WOULD BE IN OVERTIME. REGIONAL SERVICES SAYS NO OVERTIME. LAST WEEK I CLOCKED IN ON THE AVERAGE AT LEAST AT 6:15 AM IN ORDER TO AT LEAST TRY AND STAY CAUGHT UP. ONLY TOOK A 30 MIN LUNCH AND HAD ABOUT 9 1/2 TO 9 3/4 HOURS FOR 4 DAYS. AND THEY WONDER WHY I AM SUCH A BITCH AND BURNED OUT. OKAY I TELL MANAGEMENT I AM BURNED OUT AND NEED A LESS STRESS JOB. THEY AREN'T WILLING TO HELP AND THEY WILL NOT PAY ME MY SAME WAGE FOR A LESS STRESSFUL JOB. I WOULD TAKE ABOUT A 4.00 AN HOUR CUT IN PAY. MAKE SENSE? NOT TO ME. 10 YEARS SERVICE DOESN'T MEAN A DAMN THING.
OKAY ON A BRIGHT NOTE... TALKED WITH AMY AND ZEK YESTERDAY. ZEK'S PICTURE READING IS SO CUTE. HE IS GROWING UP FAST. I THINK HE LOOKS A LOT LIKE HIS GPA MURPHY, ESPECIALLY IN THE PICTURE. AMY TOLD ME ABOUT THEIR STUFF BEING SHIPPED ON THE 15TH AND THEY DON'T LEAVE TILL 20TH. THEY WILL HAVE TO ROUGH IT FOR 5 DAYS. KEEP THEM IN YOUR PRAYERS PLEASE AS THEY MAKE THIS NEW JOURNEY TO A DIFFERENT LIFE, BASE AND A WAY OF LIFE ESPECIALLY IF DES GETS DEPLOYED.
WENT OVER TO SARAH'S YESTERDAY BUT NO ONE WAS AT HOME. SO I DIDN'T GET TO SEE THE BOYS. THAT MADE ME SAD SINCE DAWSON CAN CHANGE MY MOOD REAL QUICK. DID TALK WITH SARAH ON THE PHONE YESTERDAY MORNING TO TELL HER WE MET KYLE. (HOPE THAT IS THE CORRECT WAY TO SPELL HIS NAME)HAVEN'T HEARD HOW MUCH WEIGHT JOSH AND SARAH HAS LOST.
MEGAN IS FINE. SHE IS BUSY WITH HER JOB AT THE BANK AND SCHOOL. THINK SHE REALLY LIKES HER JAZZ CLASS. THAT IS A GOOD CHANGE COMPARED TO ALL HER OTHER CRIMINOLOGY AND LAW CLASSES. SHE STARTED WEIGHT WATCHERS WITH ALL THE GIRLS IN THE BANK. SHE SEEMS TO BE DOING GOOD. KEEP IT UP MEGAN WE ALL ARE SUPPORTIVE TOO.
WE SAW BUFFY SAT NIGHT. AND WE MET KYLE. DAD AND I BOTH LIKED HIM. VERY MANNERLY AND NICE. THEY MAKE A REAL CUTE COUPLE. DAD EVEN SAID KYLE LOOKS AT BUFFY WITH LOVING EYES. HE LIKED THAT.
SHEREE AND FAMILY AND LISA ARE ALRIGHT. HAVEN'T SEEN THEM OR REALLY HEARD ANYTHING SO THINGS MUST BE GOING ALONG OKAY.
LON HAD BAND PRACTICE YESTERDAY AND THEY ARE HAVING IT WED AND FRIDAY OF THIS WEEK.
WELL GOTTA GET IN THE SHOWER SO I CAN GET GOING TO MY JOB. YOU KNOW THE ASSEMBLY LINE OF HEALTH CARE. WHAT A JOKE.
SUPPOSE TO HAVE SHOWERS TODAY AND CHANCE OF SNOW TOMMOROW AND THEN CLEAR AND BE WARM AND NICE BY THE WEEKEND.
LOVE TO ALL OF YOU. HAVE A WEEK.
