Sigh.... I find myself in a place that I have been able to avoid for several months......Some parts of my existence has never-ending turmoil. Many things that are ever so far out of my reach and ability to do change them. Some of those things my spouse and my son are also unable to change. They hear my ranting and raving on a daily basis that the unfair and unjust things of this life should not involve a young child we have raised as our own. I pray for the day that this child's unfit father will be sent forever into a unit hosted by many county and state law enforcement. Many friends and neighbors know this child has been raised for the rather the largest portion of her life (well over 90%) by my spouse and myself. He tends to take her for short periods of time, to show her off, to attempt to show what a wonderful father he is etc.
However when it comes time for food, clothing, shelter, childcare or other needs, she is left for us to take care of all of those little details. But I digress.. the medications are no longer working, things that in the not to distant past that brought me pleasure, my place of employment seems to be pushing me to the point of resignation,even the child herself are no longer able to keep my focus on staying in the here and now. Things seem to be spiraling out of control... The father says he is picking up the child tomorrow afternoon, my spouse is gone yet again to a nearby state. I am not sure that I will be around for my dear child on the late evening of "fathers day" or my work on Monday.. Such a small and unimportant part of this world we are ![]()

Oh dear, you've been dealt a rough hand. This happened to my dtr in law recently, but it was a small prick about six months ago and think she is ok, though she's worried herself sick.
You hang in there, and somehow feel yourself surrounded by the love and hope. Take care! ![]() Quote:

I have been in the same place as you were Pooh. In my 40 years as an RN, I received 2 dirty needle stick injuries, and just before I retired I was stabbed with a pair of dirty scissors from an "at risk" patient. You're right! All those tests are a pain in the neck, and that 3 month wait seems like forever. But it WILL be OK. I'll be thinking of you and praying for a negative result. I "knew" mine would be negative and it was! Your's will be too!
![]() What a shame I didn't know that you were a nurse too before we both left the profession. We could have chatted hospital type gossip and had a good old natter. ![]()

As of this date I am still trying to be a nurse. Each day is harder then the last....
![]() So about 4pm the flood gates open up ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() And the higher ups wonder why nurse turn over is so high. Just so tired of working here there and everywhere in the facility... Still waiting to hear my blood results..... Saw my own provider yesterday for some concerns, this clinic visit was questioned my the infection control nurse and human resources "why would she need to do that?? ![]() The last helps, as well as the fact he is a personal friend as well as my caregiver, and my coworker The kind caring attitude of my employer, my spouse and other non-nursing staff is killing me. I wonder if I can take disability due to my pain, my depression and my just plain reaching my limit on the burnout scale ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Just so tired of it all

Oh Pooh .... I hear you!
Shades of my evening and night shifts while I was working. I had evenings just like that one, and I worked the night shift after the evening that you had, so I do understand the conditions that you're working under. It's a shame that you couldn't demand an extra staff member, but I know that nearly always impossible! If only we all lived in a perfect world...... At one stage I heard there were more registered nurses working in Myer (a chain store here in Australia), than there were RNs working in hospitals in the whole of the state. With the conditions that RNs sometimes have to work under, it's no wonder that they cannot retain staff. ![]() I hope you feel better soon. Meanwhile, please know that I understand at least some of what you're going through. I may be retired now, but I do understand. ![]()
