How do you like your job?

[Lancer]

Yes. I'll stop now, sorry.

[Lorizael]

Haha. I don't mind. Considering my current tactic for improving my life - doing nothing - a change, any change, might do me some good. I've lived in the same house my entire life; saving up and going somewhere else to experience something completely different is probably a good idea.

[Lancer]

You'll have to kiss my butt a bit if you want further encouragement.

[Lorizael]

In all seriousness, you're a wise and down to earth kinda fellow. You usually have a very different perspective on things and your posts can be quite insightful.

That good enough for ya?

Anyways, I probably should be doing some work now.

I hope this encourages you to be more encouraging.

[Lancer]

Yes, I'll go wash my butt and then post some more encouragement.

The nice thing about my job is that it's close enough to walk to, and far enough away that it's decent exercise.

I like my job. its some o the people i have to work with thaat drive me nuts. Lots of folks that work in the Operating room dont care for outsiders tht come in and make more money then they do. The folks at the hospital im at now are kind. Although i am shocked at the level of experience some of them have. As Lancer said the town is small the hospital is small but i dont see that as an excuse to hire inexperinced folks to do a a job they have never been trained or schooled to do.
I think i have been to the casino lancer works at, before tuber went home we stopped there for the night it is small compared to others i have been to. But seems liek a cool place to work

I like my job, I am working as a freelance researcher. It's nice to work the hours that I want to and to have a bit of freedom in what we do.

It sucks in not having the regular routine and being able to plan ahead.

Nurses though, that's a hard job. So many amazing ladies who do that job, I could never hack it.

It's pretty good, but not accomplishing anything like what you're doing. That ER saved my life once btw. I have addisons and nobody could diagnose it except for Dr Miller, ER doc now retired. My life was almost gone and I told them I wasn't leaving until they figured out what was wrong with me. Doc Miller went back to the blood work and figured it out.

[Mrs. Tuberski]

Addisons dam thats rough. Need cortef to live. with out it u die. Ex mother in law has it to. watched her almost die from not getting her meds. And that stuff wasnt cheap.

[Lancer]

Hydrocortozone, levothyroxine and florinef, which I believe is the same as cortef.

Not cheap, but the VA helps alot. Before I knew about the VA it was kind of difficult. Had to buy the stuff before food.

You know your stuff.

[Lancer]

I have it in combination with insulin dependant diabetes, which can be pricey too. That ER diagnosed that too, a few years before.

[Mrs. Tuberski]

which came first the diabetes or the addisons? most folks experinece the addisons first then develop the diabetes as a result of a side affect from the meds. not to mention the adrenals sit right on top of the kidneys which is a big problem for diabetics.

[Lancer]

I got the diabetes first by 4 or 5 years. My kidneys are good, np yet.

I've worked in this hospital for 15 years now, and the turnover has been really high for the last 4-5 years. It's a strain on every department, as even experienced people have to learn how this place does things. All part of the nursing shortage I guess.
