Outrageous!

Yesterday was my last night shift & I'm doing morning shift tomorrow. I'm officially down with URTI. My voice is partially gone & I sound horrible if I can even talk. A phone call at 6.30 am revealed that my supervisor wasn't coming to work today. Nothing new here. Everytime she doesn't come to work, the night nurse have to stay back to help the morning nurse with the clinic. Becoz you can't cope with just 1 staff nurse. So in this case, it was me who stayed back.

Over the phone, she told me to ask the doctor to refer this boy who had been staying in the clinic for 6 days to the cousellor. I went in to see the doctor to get prescribed some medicine & at the same time told him about this. But after the boy saw the doctor, he wasn't referred to the counsellor. I guess the doctor had a talk with the boy & deemed it unnecessary. We were very busy & hence didn't clarify with the doctor as well. It's up to the doctor whether he wants to refer anyway.

So the morning nurse who is an agency nurse called me just now. She wanted to clarify something & at the same time, she told me that my supervisor called. She asked the agency nurse (D) if the boy was referred to the school counsellor. D told her that he wasn't. According to D, my supervisor got upset & said things like "I specifically told (me) to get the doctor to make the referral." D stood up for me by saying that I did tell her that this boy was to be referred & perhaps I told the doctor when I was being seen. But my supervisor didn't believe D, which was also why she called to clarify with me.

Now, as a supervisor, you take frequent MCs, doesn't inform the HR so nobody can track the number of her MCs, make the night nurse stay back (I kena many times liao), don't pay her back the time (Need not be money but at least let me claim time right?) & when something isn't done, immediately point the finger at me without at least trying to find out what happened. I can't tell her this in her face. But, "You sucks! Big time!".
