12 more weeks to go

positive sounding of me. 12 weeks. thats like exactly 3 months. Or 60 days. So far in the ward has been ok. Geron ward is tough, but what doesnt kill you will only make u stronger. Im stronger now except for the occasional damage done to my back handling patients from their beds. Geron beds are so low for safety reasons and to raise the bed to my waist level takes forever! They keep saying to push the bed higher up so not to hurt the back but its so unpractical when you have to do turning for 3 cubicles and each patient has his own mental problem/stubborness. Maybe for the other nurses not raising up or raising it up a bit would help a lot. Simply cuz they are short! hahaha. But it was terrible for me. Now im just hoping for someone who would come forward and give me a 1000 dollar osim voucher so i can buy a massage chair. i better do something to it before it gets irreversible. But all good deeds dont go to waste. patients said thank you, gave u a huge smile and offer his break time biscuit and milo. That response itself is worth sacrifising my broken back.

Maybe im just lucky to get patients who are nice and warm and appreciative. There are a few bad apples but i dun give a hoot. (Well, i showed my middle finger to this fucked up grandpa, so i actually did give a hoot.) It jus create this good aura around the cubicle. If i make people happy, they then be happy, then it makes me happy too, and that aura is felt. I sound like a philosophical gay but its true! and the nurses are very helpful as well. So it makes a good combo. After this ill be doin staff nurse jobs, so i may not be able to do those dirty jobs as much.
