frustrations and burnt outs
with the super high work loads each day at work
with super fast turn over rate, my colleagues are all getting frustrated and burnt,
even myself too, dark rings become more obvious
i can't go to work without my make ups on because patient's relatives keep saying i looked tired
and having a tired look how am i going to convince them that they loved one is being taken care well.
even with my make up on, some relatives still say i look tired at the start of my shift.
i'm sure i'm not the only one.
there's a lot of my staff looked super tired
some are getting frustrated
easily irritated, easily angered.
yup, the ICU indeed facing more burnt out.
with all the inservices, audit meetings, teaching models, audits to do after work, after having a war-like shift, not able to go home on time to rest, how can us not be frustrated?
myself too whenever i'm assigned to be over-all nurse I/C,
i'll also be frustrated. frustrated with the bed status, frustrated with having to solve so many problems that are of lowest priority on top of my own patient care.
this is also the reason why so many of the local staffs and trained staffs are planning to leave this year after their bond. sighs.
classic example of system and management breakdown. FAIL
