Got fired.
When I didn't show up for that meeting with nursing administration on Tuesday, they canned me. I feel like spam. Oh well, i have work with a nursing registry and now it's on my terms. I don't miss working the schedule I didn't like. The staffing clerk kept asking me when I'll be available next and I told her I'll call er whenever.
The fact that I was fired for insubordination because I wasn't there in that meeting was a little harsh. Fortunately, I have built myself a teflon extrior that nothing seem to stick on me anymore. As long as I'm a step ahead of the game, I'm fine.
I scheduled myself on the nightshift. This way, there will be no doctors around and I can live in peace. The nursing shortage is not getting any better and there is no relief in site. I can see doing this another ten years and perhaps retiring. Shoot, 20 years as a nurse is good enough for me.
I always think about what my brother told me about how patients suck the life out of nurses. On how the profession produces a bunch of bitter old women that seem to fill the dark corridors of hospital wards. Jeez, those old farts have 15-25 years of experience and they will tell you that. Most young nurses are offended by it as I was 10 years ago. They are bitter, menopausal, youth sapping individuals who will nag you and burden you with their insidous ways to steal your idealism. It's almost as if they are trying to turn me like them.
What I do now is to try to bring out the goodness in my patients. Those who resist are obviously insane, bipolar, and psychopaths. These people are just the bile of society. Green, putrid, repugnant little people who are just there. Sucking on the already burdened health care systems. They are disabled, and we tax payers are supporting them. They should be sent out somewhere where they can be useful. Wait, useful for what? They are as useless as spent uranium rods. Lets place them in pods and send them out to space in some remote planet or meteor.
I started looking into more travel nurse agencies so i can work in the Bay area. These bastards are so cheap they make me puke. I may have to abort my plans if these angencies don't show me the money.
The more I look into going pack to engineering, the more I get discouraged. There are no real jobs out there. I will try to review and see if I can pass the EIT. I've read job discriptions out there and most stuff I don't know. Jeez, are there actually people out there that knows those stuff? I hope so.
As I told one doctor- I don't see patients, I take care of them. Good day.
