this past weekend, I've calculated the pros and cons of doing the meds shift. Let me list a few:
pros:
more pay
not as tight as a schedule
opportunity to listen to music
more chances to get to know the residents
not as much "dirty" work
cons:
a lot of pressure to have everything done on time
you are completely alone
big consequences if you make a mistake
everyone asks you for advice on things you are just as clueless about
a lot of responsibility
not too bad, but you get the picture.
I do like the shift, its just a bit scary if you don't know what to do. More than anything, I need it because I'm training to be a "lead" this next weekend. I'm really nervous about it, but than again I am excited because I'm able to be more useful. A new position will definitely make the job more meaningful, but I don't know if I will actually work any of these shifts unless someone needs a cover. Oh well, experience is experience.
its hard to imagine that I've only been here 6 months and I'm already climbing up the ladder. I scare myself sometimes with how much I end up doing. Halp?
