My boss told me this week that I am her star nurse right now. Wow. Not too bad, eh? I still haven't heard yet if star=more $$. Although, I am not really worried. I am about 99% sure I will get what I asked for. And that puny 1% is just that stupid voice in the back of my head that always tries to bring me down and never shuts up.
I had to discharge someone this week for non-compliance. It's hard, because my nature is to HELP. But if someone continues to not help themselves, then there's nothing we can do. I then just becomes an unsafe situation for us to be a part of. I don't want to be held responsible for someone ending up dead because they wouldn't take their medications appropriately or because they didn't check their blood sugar all week. This is the hard part of the job. Fighting between the natural urge to want to help someone and the need to protect myself. *sigh*
