I'm so frustrated, my mum went into hospital on Sunday afternoon, she had her operation to remove more cancer on Monday.
I'm not allowed to talk to her and I can't even send her flowers as they are not allowed on the ward.
Yesterday I called her mobile and a nurse answered, for starters that is out of order, fine tell the patient they need to turn it off but DO NOT answer it for them !!!
Over the weekend while I was working we had an incident where a bank staff (temporary staff) started shouting at the shift coordinator when she was told she would be called from her break in one hour (that's all the break any of us are allowed), since I have had to write a statement about the incident and the staff in question has been baned not just from my ward but from the whole unit, and the unit immediately attached to us.
Monday was my first day at University, it's not scary like last time, only thing I can see that is going to be a problem is the level that some of the others are, I am going to have to bite my tongue and remind myself that I have already done most of this course and they haven't. In would be nice if I used this and helped those who struggle, and I will but only to the point that I do not end up falling behind myself, one of my many downfalls in the past.
One thing that amazed me on Monday was how people can work in the NHS as support workers for so many years and not know who the NMC are, okay the NMC (Nursing and Midwifery Council, the governing body for nurses and midwives) do not govern support staff but a lot of the NMC Code of Conduct is used for support staff as well. I'll not rant about that subject now though as it could be another blogosode.
Going back to Uni this time supported by work I am now only on the ward three days a week with Uni being two days, and I'm still on full time wages. This has to be the best upside next to the final qualification there is, especially at the moment with the worst patient in the trust on my ward.
