Such a long week. I leave home at 5am and sometimes don't get home until 6pm. I'm so tired. Things are SO crazy.
The PSE is nuts. For the first three days, I was with three different supervisors, which was really frustrating, as they all had different schedules and ways of doing things. I never knew what tasks needed to be done on a daily basis. But, today I was with the same person again and I got the hang of things.
Basically, the QA Supervisor does a lot with staffing, making sure the galleys on the floor are stocked and clean, making sure staff are doing OK on the floors and aren't having any problems, talking with patients who have had accuracy issues for their trays, and stepping in for positions when needed. This isn't only for galley staff on the floors, but also the B2 galley which does a lot of the call-backs for trays and making trays for last minute diet changes.
The first three days, I wasn't the supervisor 100%. Today, I was. I was handed the phone and the pager and had a pretty smooth day throughout. When 1pm hit? It never stopped. The phone was constantly ringing and my pager was constantly going off. RD's needing formula. People needing to go to meetings. Nourishments not getting there on time. People calling in and not coming to work. Trying to find a replacement. Unhappy patients.
Extremely happy tomorrow is Friday.
Pros of having a blog:
*Remembering what I've done, kind of like keeping a diary
*Sharing my experiences with those who might be applying to a DI
*Keeping in touch
Cons of having a blog:
*Too tired to write sometimes, especially after 13 hours at the hospital
*Sometimes not much to say
*Friends/family reading the blog and not calling or writing instead
