I’ve been working 4 straight consecutive days from Friday to Monday (today) where I work at a hospital as a patient transporter and assisting with patient care alongside with some of the nurses on the floor.
The first couple days were going good where I felt I was in the right frame of mind and was keeping focused but Monday just hit me for some reason.
First I’m not sure if it’s something I’m doing but I had come across a few rude individuals/nurses who I had tried to assist. I helped in a case where I was transferring a patient from the floor to radiology and I am told that I am “not going fast enough” because the nurse wanted to be on her lunch break. Yeah you’re holding an IV line while I’m transporting the patient at the same time and to me going “faster” is relatively not safe for the patient. I can already see I’m around a self entitled individual who I may have rubbed the wrong way? “No you’re not doing it right” (this was before transport where I incorrectly positioned the stretcher the way the nurse wanted and I had trouble understanding”.
I later on another patient from a procedure to their room and afterwards I let the charge nurse know and I’m being berated because I did not use a call light to let the nurse know right then…no one ever told me to use a call light ever since I started working at this job “I know you’re new but you have to do it this way”.
I had another Instance where I’m talking with a nurse about picking up a patient and at the moment I couldn’t remember what I was going to say so I had to refer back to my notes while stuttering at the same time (I’m already tired at this point while also fearing what this person is going to think of me acting this way).
I do my job and I’m usually friendly and outgoing naturally but I have people just look at me like I’m either stupid or just a burden and all because I guess I’m working at a entry level job below a nurse and a doctor. I noticed my non functioning social battery was not cooperating as the day went on and that had seemed to get in the way as far as verbalizing instructions and acting like I couldn’t do my job more fully. I feel me being tired can lead to over reaction and feel socially awkward more often.
This post may not make much more sense when reading this since hey I’m still burned out that I’m losing concentration while typing but I’m trying my best. How does one go through their day or multiple days in a row without not just feeling burned out but also not letting people think that you just don’t belong in a certain place? It’s like multiple compounded feelings that I’m having with myself and with the interaction of others where people are either rude or just bothered that I’m in the presence of the moment. I’m just like am I the freakin problem in a way?
