Hello everyone, I state that everyone should utilize social distancing at all occasions which is recommended by CDC to curb the spread of the virus. I blow kisses to my young children and air hug them. I did give them the rationale for this new practice. I am healthy and they are as well. I am doing my best to keep it that way. Yet I still touch my pts. to check a pulse and render them nightly care. I care for them with the same enthusiasm before we come to the Covid 19 era. I am not the only one. Our doctors and therapists do the same. Big thanks to my employers who make PPE’s available to all employees every time we enter pts’s rooms ,and our ability to call for more when supplies run low. I feel encouraged by the response of our CEO at my employment as well as the CEO of the Organization. I felt their devotion toward their pts. when I was hired. Our CEO is pragmatic, sincere,intelligent, humble and easy to talk to. Our CNO is smart and very much hand-ons gives up update on the units and answer our questions if we need to be tested for the virus. We can be tested in our own facility. Our unit Director updates us daily on the new guideline on CDC recommendation and changes.
Our ICC’s are amazing developing strategic plans to minimize spread of the virus on affected pts. I have given direct care for a long time,except for one year, I did in administration management, and I went back to bedside. I love giving direct care and I still have the same passion. However, due to family dynamic, I must look into a career change. I love my organization,, the environment, the managers,the Charges,, all the people , I work with. They all are great.
Incidentally, I hear a recording on all my home and work conversations. I did not understand it. Dec.19th, 2019, I spoke to a Judge asking him to lift this ongoing recording on all conversations that I make. He assured me the Court has no jurisdiction, no interest, no legal authority to listen to my conversations even to protect me. It a total HYPPA violation. It is strictly prohibited by law. I have heard this recording for 3 yrs. not knowing where it came from. I was puzzled. One night, a person at work made the recording so very high, I could not hear the person voice, and the increasing noise gave me a pounding headache. I was suffering from that cacophony. That very loud noise sent me an alarm and contributed to my finding of the source of the unsettled question I had for 3 yrs.
I am who I am, and have not changed over the years,minding my own business, a non gossiper, compassionate, engaging, hard worker, passionate, informative,no non sense, pragmatic and respectful to all, truthful, non accusatory, forgiver. Forgiver is a must for me or else,I will be angry or depressed or both. Responsible, Committed to the pts., families,doctors,Director, NM, CN plebotomists, pharmacists and techs, all in all. I am not a trouble maker I am a straight shooter. I am asking the ones in power who have these devices to listen to me to my home phone and my cell conversations to hang it down and discontinue this practice for you have done for 3 years and had not found remotely anything concerning myself as a spy, double face, or hypocrite. You find nothing on me remotely suspicious.
If you want to give me additional stress,I must say that you have succeeded by 10,000%. I work holistically for all involved. Being honest,and delivered compassionate care to all I touch. T o those reading my blog,I am looking for another job that is physically less stressful and less fast paced. I also have a lot of responsibilities out of my work schedule. I am looking for a new adventure with a happy heart. I am open to organizations that I can offer service/ assistance not as a staff nurse. I still love it, but I pay my due. It is time to move on. I am honest and sincere on all statements that I make. Martine, the Humanitarian.
