Autumn harvest
Not very much new here. It has been a beautiful week. Sunny, 20. Will be cooling off soon.
Had a staff meeting where I created a lot of waves. Asked Why it was that we had not addressed the sacred cow of only keyworkers and managers having bankers hours. Surprisingly, it went over better than I would have thought. Also suggested that society pay for class 4 driver's license, look at modifying orientation to better suit indivdual new staff's needs (like if hiring a 4th year nursing student, do you really need to go over how to do personal care, wouldn't time be better spent on other areas?). Finally said that I thought it wrong that we were biased in our training of men, they can't work overnights or do personal care for women (most people onstaff agreed with this). I was non-stop, went home with a headache and feeling that creating change is wearing. Still, given the present difficulty in recruitment and retainment it is wise to think of ways in which we can attract and keep people. It's not just about wages.
The meeting also lasted 4 hours! That's what it was scheduled for, it wasn't due to me and my fight for the underpriviledged.
Ba ba baaa. It's Politically Charged Nursing Student!
Went jogging again today. was going to do yardwork, but that doesn't seem to be happening. I will do a final review of my essay and article critique. i feel pleased with both.
Had to work last night and also again tonight. Sigh. But we're going to see the new Martin Scorsese film tonight. Avengers. It looks promising.
Mom comes back tomorrow! I hope that she and Anne had a good time! It'll be nice to see her again!
Oh yes, am also doing flu shots for Interior Health employees. It's good practice in giving deltoid intramuscular injections. Though when the woman called to set up times and when info/training seesion would be she said, "Now, dont' rush and feel stressed about it. If there's 40 people lined up, don't think about them all, just cncentrate on one at a time. they can always come back. It shoudl be fun for you' Eek. though i do get continuing education hours and a certificate.
Richard is at a study group this afternon and tomorrow afternoon.
I feel ilke a massage widow. Probably like what a nurse widower felt like.
