All Blogs You Need

Hi guys,
I had a chat with a wise friend of mine who strangely enough happens to be a staff nurse.
I think shes been feelin the pressure like the rest of us and i want to say to you all what i said to her in the hope it will go some way to makin you feel better.
I told her that how ever chaotic it is right now together we can get thru it cuz each and every one of us are brilliant and have our own invaluable strengths. i would also like to mention i am available for ranting and i am also very cheap. Payment = a drink of juice which on occassions at work are hard to get hold of hehe take care guys xx
ps Kaz thanx for your reply

Ive been off work for nealry two weeks now - the first week went on forever - it was great!!!

Went on the unit night out that was fab - got a wee bit intoxicated and had an all round good time. Good beer, good music and above all else good company; bit of a shame some people were missing but cant have everything/everybody.

( A couple of the fella's )

I even blogged when I got back but it was a mess and embarrasing in many ways LOL so it got edited down to my lasy post; just in case, for once, you were wondering what I was on about. - I know its still the ramblings of a drunkard LOL

The following day I began to think about work and have been suffering with the "back at work soon" anxiety ever since. I fear all is the same and Im going to be back in a war zone. Wonder how many casualties there will have been.
The first week was so relaxing thought Id be ready for work but another two would be really good.
Got some plans for my return - but will all depend on whats been going on.

So, you may ask, what did I do with my time off? Well Ive mostly been Dad. My daughter and eldest son both had birthdays and for the rest of the time I did school runs and washing.

When I had a bit of spare time Ive been on my bike, gym and done some work on a new website. Hopefully that will go live in the next six weeks or so. Ive watched a few films, done some gardening ( yeah I know, dont tell anyone ) the only two things I wished I had done were read abook and plug my guitar in - though I have had an unplugged tinkle.

Sure I'll see a good few of you on Monday - be gentle with me.

Hi all, well if you read my last blog I was very rested after my hols
But this is no longer my state of well being. 2 days back at work and im frazzled, day off today but so bloody tired after yesterday I wont go into any details but for those of you who know what it was like im sure you will understand. Iam very concerned not just for me but for my fantastic collegues (sorry know thats not spelt right) How much longer can we go on like this ?? I feel sad angry a falure as a nurse and lots of other emotions yet I know that its not our nursing skills that are in question here, we are doing are best but I feel sad that actully we are not using are skills I did not do my training to do what we are doing, and Im sure others feel the same.
Iv said before that I did not come into mental health for an easy ride becouse we all know thats not the case but this is not on and I beg people who have a voice to use it please !!!!
