Today’s Work Chronicles… It is typically quite difficult to get anyone to answer on either of the units after 5p. A resident mishandled one of the cordless phones and you could hear numbers being dialed throughout the entire facility. All of sudden, people (who can never be found when hospitals or labs call) from both… Continue reading 12.04.2019

Today’s Work Chronicles… I need a drink and a nap… Yesterday, I listened to my mother discuss how she was treated while helping a recently discharged and disabled resident obtain his meds from the poisonous Wal-Mart Pharmacy. Today, I was faced with a resident calling close to 6p (meaning it was dark) to say he… Continue reading 11.11.2019

Today’s Work Chronicles…. IT’S OPEN ENROLLMENT SEASON!!! I hope you’re reading your e-mails from your HR departments so you’ll know which benefits to choose. I had the option of working the main campus of the privileged school located up 52N, or their Charlotte location. I opted to work main campus since it was local and… Continue reading 10.22.2019

Today’s Work Chronicles… I had a Healthcare Day committee meeting with Leadership Winston-Salem and joined the Mental Health subcommittee because I still don’t think many realize how much mental health affects every other type of health. Working at the facility and a transportation driver drops a resident at the front desk. The resident chews paper… Continue reading 10.09.2019

Today’s Work Chronicles… I worked a college resume drive and, in the words of my sister, “I’m in a tizzy.” I am flabbergasted at the lack of preparation, lack of desire, and lack of interest in students creating a resume and receiving feedback from companies who are actively recruiting. Excuses about why they weren’t attending…•They… Continue reading 09.03.2019

Today’s Work Chronicles… I don’t travel as much as I used to for work so my health fair skills are rusty because it’s rare we have local events. I love and want to keep my job, so I will not disclose my location nor the “interesting” things discussed at my table. I will discuss other… Continue reading 06.14.2019

Today’s (and yesterday’s) Work Chronicles… Expression of the weekend: 😐 Have been asked to work at the nursing facility off and on since I left in March. The requests picked up after the lady who was hired after me quit. I declined last Thursday and Friday because I had too much going on. Told them I… Continue reading 06.02.2019

Today’s Football Mom Chronicles… In the event your 8 years with your current mattress has expired, here’s your opportunity to purchase a BRAND NEW (I don’t even know why this has to be stated because it should be against the law to sell used mattresses…has anyone watched Dateline?) Mattress Firm mattress at the non-Mattress Firm… Continue reading 04.30.2019

Final Chronicle Update (maybe)… •Seperately talked to resident’s nurse and charge nurse about previously discussed situation. As I was approaching them, they both were 👀 at me. I asked the charge nurse why she looked at me the same way the nurse did and they weren’t even together? “Because you don’t venture over here much unless there’s… Continue reading 02.23.2019 finale

Another Chronicle Update… Concerned son came in because mother’s pastor called him saying she needed to be moved. Boss is in her office, the same office she was deaf in earlier, agreeing with the fact it’ll be Monday before she could get moved. He and I ignored her and proceeded to find out what the… Continue reading 02.23.2019 part 3
