It's Friday...

Usually Fridays are not a big deal for me because I work, however, since I made myself one of the unemployed last week, I actually have a unlimited weekend to look forward to. No mad dash to work today. I know, it's irresponsible to give up a job in an economy where people are losing their jobs through no fault of their own. Me, I'm just to old for the b.s. Being 50, half my life is already spent (if I can make 100), I am certain that there are different ways to make $$. Have a job and have some fun.
Nursing is a thankless job. You hear people say "you guys are like angels", in the next breath, screaming at you because they can't find daddy's socks. Socks, really!?! They're a dollar at the dollar store, buy another pair.
Nursing is the only job that you can be literally shit on, pissed on, spat at and screamed at and your reply is always "Okay, thanks have a good day!"
So I'm relishing this little break even if its only temporary. Must look for job next week...
Health Insurance and all.
I wish you guys out there could see the waste of resources that occur in nursing homes.
The food that we throw away at the end of they day says it all. Never mind the amout of medicines that get dumped monthly. Never mind that your are treating 99 year patients with multiple morbities, who are full codes, who have 37 meds, and who sleep all day.
Just think how this money could be better spent in neo-natal units at the start of life, and in transplant units where young people fight for their life...
Just a thought...
