Well this year has been full of many changes and there are many more to come. The most recent changes have been a career change that just seems to keep on lingering this summer.
After finally being done with my Ed testing I am able to submit my paperwork to become an official teacher at Jordan high school. I'm definitely looking forward to this change as I feel that ending my nursing assistant position is long overdue. It has been a great experience in many ways however it is not a position that I can handle having for an extended time.
After 5 years of being on the job there are many things that certainly need changing in the healthcare system and the biggest issue is how things are being implemented through the management positions.
It seems like no matter where you go there are always these generalized statements about how we need to work harder as a floor and how we need to do a better job with individualized cares. I feel like this is a great goal to have and this is certainly something that a hospital should work for but it should also be accompanied with praise for people that are doing a great job because I feel that when these statements come out to the floor I am not recognized and only feel scolded when I believe I am already doing something to make the floor better.
I think that by creating a better system to recognize those doing the good work but working in silent ways is a more effective way to keep employees engaged. Other problems with the system is an unfortunate schedule process in which employees trying to continue their education are not able to be assisted and are in turn forced to become a part time or casual employee.
I believe that there will probably always be these similar problems but my hopes are helping me move forward and be in a position on which I feel like my concerns are heard and my voice is one that matters.
Well this should probably be all for now on this rant. I think I'm at a point in my work career where it is time to move on because there is not the appreciation I deserve.
