I am an RN with 20 years of experience in Obstetrics. I am having difficulty dealing with this added stress. I am close to 58 and all this added rounding sets up expectations that I cannot keep. I do the best I can do but people are absurd on their expectations. One person downgraded us because we did not have a toll free number for her relatives to call from Atlanta. We are not in metro Atlanta!!! Our small rural hospital is 2 million dollars in debt for calendar year 2013! Not only do I feel like a slave to the hospital expectations but I no longer feel like a professional nurse! The people that are always setting in the cafeteria when I rush down to get my lunch are always thinking of new questions and things we have to check. So its not the basic 4 position, pain, plan of care for the day, and the potty. Its "what's the most important thing I can do for you today?" and more things like garbage, straighten the room when most folks can't even hit the garbage can. Meanwhile, I might be a labor and delivery nurse and the next 30 minutes a nursery nurse. There are 4 of us for whatever is there and whatever walks in the door. Also, they keep changing the computer system so that you just get use to doing something one way and it ends up some other way. As in all the patients are now going to virtual beds and we have to place them in the correct room. If my computer locks up what would have been simple 10 years ago now requires a 20min call to the help desk. While my nurse manager is wanting me to go take care of another baby that was just born.
