Happy new years, folks!! Hope this finds you all well and looking forward to making all the necessary changes for 2007!!!! I have been thinking about making a few resolutions.....you know....those "promises" we make to ourselves on January 1st and manage to break by January 2nd!! yeah...anyway, besides the usualy "I'm gonna lose this weight", I am also resolving to be a better person...more understanding, and easier listener...not just to my patients, but also to my co-workers! We have all found ourselves working in an environment some may call "hostile"...backstabbing, undermining, blaming, no direction...etc!!! Well, I vow that this year, I will not ADD to the harm, but will actually try and heal those hurt by the past years actions of others! I will defend my fellow nurses against administration that does not understand us when we say "but we ARE the ones here 24/7, holidays, weekends, nights".....I will be a positive force for the new nurses coming on board so that they know that not ALL nurses eat their young....no more joining in on the daily backstabbing and cutting down of others!!
WISH ME LUCK!!!
As for the rest of you, may you find 2007 to be everything you hoped for!!!!
