Hello Anita. I hope you are well.  We had our fortnightly staff meeting today  and I had my month lk y supervision meeting with my manager. I’m pleased to say that I don’t think it could have gone better.

My manager said that every staff member has made the same medication error which I made.  He also offered some input on changing some practices aimed at p reventingit from happening. I an a lk used what had happened and what I felt contributed to the error.  He said that he is very happy with my work, that he knows I am very competent, and sees that I immediately own my mist asked and work to improve practice from those were o rd.

I told him that I am struggling very much with so m any 12 hour shifts and sleepovers. I didn’t realise that I do more than everyone else. He talked about offering one of our casual workers more hours so that at Le a st son e if my 12 hour shifts can change to 7 o r 8 hours.  She has young children and the shorter hours suit her.

The worker who h a s been very rude to people spoke to us today. He said he feels very unwell. He is only 50 but had a pacemaker in for quite a few years.  He coughed a lot and said the doctors don’t really know the cause of the cough.  He is very overweight and also suffers from sleep apnea but the masks and machine are not suitable for him.

We got through a lot of important work issues at the meeting, and I also did some “hands-on work so it was a productive day.

He says I will be able to take leave very soon, but we have not worked out dates yet.
