Yet another day of fumbling while on the floor. I think my clinical coach is part of the problem. She's great at helping me out, but she's not so great at making sure I do things on my own. I have no problem with skipping breaks entirely and staying over 1.5 hours sans pay to make sure all my charting is done and the tests I was supposed to make sure were run are actually taken care of. My coach, though, lives in Staten Island and has two small kids, so she's constantly presuring me to finish at a certain time. It's frustrating, and I wonder how much I'm learning; I feel like I'm making the same mistakes over and over again. I just hope all my patients are well when I come in tomorrow (frack, in six hours today...it's already 1AM) and that I can handle the rush better.

The compliment I've gotten a couple of times is re: my voice. Specifically that's so "soft and kind". Well, sheet, those are always reasons I've given when asked why I hated it. I guess the quiet tones put patients at ease. Great? Meh.

She should understand that you're new to this, and need time to get used to it.

What an inconsiderate...you-know-what.

My coach is actually pretty cool, and *very* patient. I think maybe she believes she's helping me. I don't know.

And I'm glad you liked the card. They've worked wonders on my bad days as well, so I'm always happy to share the cheer. I'm a fan of bubble-nosed Rudolph myself. *grin* I love those stamps! I went to the PO today to see if they had any more and they were sold out. I was thisclose to moping on the way home. I'm going to have to check the USPS website and see if they sell them direct.

I got your card! It's all levels of cuteness, and it made me smile, laugh, and turned my horrible day into a better one. Thanks so much!!!

Loved the superhero stamp, too. It's so...you!

As you know I have the same voice problem. My m-in-law pointed out a few times now when I'm in the car with her she always forgets stuff and feels calm and a little sleepy. Damn voice!! Some people really like it others feel it is their right to treat me like shit because I sound so young and sweet, well those people always get a lovely surprise from me :-P

Good luck handlin' the rush, I know you'll catch on it takes some time. Happy holidays, D!!

Ha! As long as she's not having the amnesia/sleepy spells while she's driving I think things will be okay. And, yeah, what's up with people taking you for granted because of the way you *sound*? It makes me want to throttle my vocal cords along with the offenders.

Thanks for the holiday cheer and the good vibes, M. AND the scarf (it's finally getting some wear; unseasonably warm weather had it shelved until a couple of days ago). *grin*

your voice is a soothing balm to the patients :)

i got your card! *happy dance* the stamp made me smile, what with my love of SV. i've had the exact opposite problem. i keep forgetting that maybe not everyone who wishlist i go to lives in the US and then i'm all "oh crap!" when i see Australia or Timbuktu.

Bwah. If the patients want a soothing balm I'll get 'em some Icy Hot. *grin*

I'm glad you liked the card. I was obviously subconsciously zoning in on your Chlark lurve when I picked your stamp, because I think I might have only had one or two Supe stamps on the page. I don't know *why* I kept thinking you were like in the UK or something. My brain loves teh crack.

And...Timbuktu, for serious? They have teh internetz over there? :)
