This post is not to make anyone feel bad about me, it is more for me to get everything out so that I can move on and reflect afterwards.
So I am a nurse and for many years I have worked with elder people, it was never planned to happened but after dropping out of school at 14 and working several jobs for little pay I decided to join nursing school to get a better job and since I grew up with my grandparents I decided to work with elders.
After working for 8 to 9 years without any vacation or without ever leaving the island I live on (Aruba) I took a big step and went to Spain and Holland to start something new and right about then the pandemic hit us.
I came back to Aruba, made a living of selling food to people but it was not enough for me to cover all necessities. I kept searching for other types of job because I really am not afraid of any type of work and found again in a elder care center which was just opening her doors.
I started here as a normal nurse and in 2 months they made me the leader of the caregiving team. But as time went on I started noticing many thing that were going wrong and when I do bring them forward I get bad reaction from my boss who has never been in the nursing sector.
Plenty of times I had to deal with her mood swings and bad talk while the stuff she says are incorrect in the medical world. Plenty of times she calls the doctor for stuff that we as nurses can take care of or make the situation sound a million times worse than the actuality.
A couple of months ago I helped them get a cook to cook nice healthy food for the elders. This person being my partner and it was the biggest mistake I could of done because just as bad as they talked to me they did with her till the point she left. Still there weren't any hard feelings and we went on.
I have been holding on but mainly for the elders because I know that if I leave plenty of things are gonna go wrong, I have been there with them from the very beginning/opening but I honestly cannot take it any longer.
This morning I woke up with my phone off and to my surprise it went off because of the work chatgroup and this went crazy because a patients wound was looking a bit dirty. I was there in the morning and I personally took care of the wound but I do not work 24/7 and it is normal that if I took care of it in the morning and no one else did again for the rest of the day that it will not look so clean the next morning.
I tried explaining this to them but it only made it worst and I can not continue to accept this from them. So today I quit knowing it is gonna be really difficult but the hustler in my soul will help me get trough. And hopefully this I can use at my advantage to look for a simple job with little to no stress so I can have a stable income while increasing my posts here, HIVE seems to have a way to motivate me and I am thankful for that and for everyone who has me on auto upvote you guys are the best and to anyone who reads this thank you as well🙏❤️
