The title says it all. The fortmonthly inter-rim is over, and the management has made some major changes to the staff movement in the ward. 7 of our staff are due to leave for their advanced diploma, while another 3 have tendered their resignation, and another 2 of them are on maternity leave, with 1 more having transferred out, while the rest of the staffs are being reshuffled. Its sad to see our B2 family being broken apart.
The only consolation is that; a number of staffs have joined us aboard to replace those who will leave us, but they're newbies and they need plenty of guidance from their preceptors, leaving the staffing very limited. Work load is getting heavier and the patients are getting more demanding. Eventhough you have enough people working each shift, we can never complete our task on time, and we're practically doing free labour.
As for me, with effect from tmro, i'll be a permanent staff of 46A; nursing mainly psychiatric patients. There goes my chance of preceptoring one of the newbies. Well, at least i did manage to precept her for abit. Heh.
Many might think the work there is all relax and like a holiday chalet; but that's where they're wrong. Yes, we dont have diaper changing nor terminally ill patients. But we nurse mentally unsound patients who are highly suicidal and we have to watch their every move like a hawk, and at times take physical abuse from them. And yes, its physically not tiring but its mentally torturous.
For sure im going to miss my B2 station; the work station that's been affected the most. Nothing much needs to be said; cause its mutual understanding. I know everyone's affected by this drastic sudden changes, and everyone's upset to leave, but i guess life has to go on. Very little words were exchanged past few days, i could sense everyone feeling sad. I shed a tear today as i bid farewell to some of them. I know this is not goodbye; just a mere farewell. But i hope, i really hope, one day we'll be back together as one whole family again.
And i guess the only time we girls could really spend some time would be during our frequent smoke breaks. Sigh. Like asthough banyak sangat larhh opportunity tuu. Fuck. Goodbye B2; Hello Psy! (:
