I have gotten another new job. I was hired at South Davis Community Hospital (again). This is the same company I worked for when I worked at Barton Creek before getting married. Only this time instead of being there I am with their home health and hospice. So again I am an official butt wiper. Not my favorite job but I have many years of experience and so I am good at it. That and it gives me a good excuse for when we have kids that all the dirty diapers will be changed by Skyeler. :) Ya probably won't happen but I could at least try.
Well this job has been interesting so far. Quite stressful actually. My first couple shifts was in training obviously and that went well. Last week was my first week alone and I was quite anxious and nervous about the whole thing just because it has been so long and I have to worry about getting to the persons house and knowing what I need to do there once I get there since some might just be companionship and others might be a shower or bed-bath. I never know what it is I'm going to do till I get there. I just always get so nervous when I don't know the person and I always worry about transfers. I am a small person and I can't pick people up. Lets just say I love hoyer lifts.
So far my schedule hasn't been really set in stone. There has been only two days out of the five I was scheduled that has stayed the same. Monday I switched a client and added 4 hrs to my day and then Thursday and Friday instead of doing my scheduled shifts it was changed for a 12 hr overnight shift from 9pm - 9am. Then Saturday and Sunday was added for the 12 hr overnight shift as well. So I added two days and many hours. I can't complain to much since I just sit here on my computer watching 24 on netflix all night. Next weeks schedule is full as well. I was hired as part-time and I am working full time hrs. Especially since I took on these 12 hrs shifts. I think I have 17 clients for the week so that is about 17 hrs for the week but add on my 24 hrs earlier. hmm. that is ALOT. Plus I still have to do my school stuff. So I feel overwhelmed. Especially when I have to be at a clients house by 7 am. It has been quite the adjustment for me.
What I do like is that on the days I work early and only 5 clients I could be done by 12 or 3 or whatever so I get to enjoy my evenings now. I have never really been able to do that since I have ALWAYS had a 3-11 shift.
With all my anxiousness and stress of starting the new job I keep thinking maybe this isn't a good place to work or I'm not sure if I can last very long here. I hope I can. Especially since I need to have a job so Sky and I can get our own place. I've wanted that for a long time. So hopefully everything goes better and I can hurry and adjust. Either that or Sky hurries and gets this awesome amazing job that will support us and I wouldn't have to work. Only problem is finding that job. Sky has a couple good leads especially since he is on set with the church's film. He has shown a couple of people there his talents and I hope he can find something that way. That would be so awesome if he could work for the church's films as a set or prop designer or maker. But I guess for now I get to shower old people and wipe butts. At least it pays well. (more than my other cna jobs).
