However, what do you do when you are
the only available LC, you have 18 new moms to see, several of whom
are having problems, several of whom are chomping at the bits to be
discharged (and some of those are the ones with problems), moms are
waiting to come in for an induction until rooms are available so
there is pressure to accomplish discharges ASAP . . .
On days like these, taking time to
establish a trusting relationship just isn't in the cards!
I kid you not. I have had days like this.
Winnie,
I can relate to every word that you wrote!!! It does get tough some days. It
is so hard to schedule extra help because the days can vary so much. I am
lucky that I work with some great people (thank you Linda Goldberg) & they are
willing to help & listen when you need to vent. Glad you are looking forward to
retirement. I know that you won't miss the "rat race."
