I feel so alone here at work with no one talking to me; feeling alienated from "the group" by my constant need to make myself valuable so as not to be the 1st nurse thought of to lay off.
Do the others know how bad it really is? Do they know how scary that this environment has become with the patient census so low and budget tight? I wonder how on earth they sleep well at night.
I work hard every day I'm here, and I always have in the back of my mind that fear of loosing my job because there's not enough work to do. Keeping busy is the biggest thing to see me through.
I decorate for the seasons to keep the treatment room looking festive. I hope my extra effort is being accepted.
With colors so bright and cheerful scattered throughout the room; it almost makes me forget about all the job worries, gloom, and doom.
So I sit here at my desk looking out at this crazy scene and wonder what it all may mean.
My future is certain and uncertain all at once as things keep moving forward and I still have my job. I can't think of any other way it could be, because if everything were certain, I'd probably be dead.

I didn't realize your job was in jeopardy. Have they been talking about laying people off???
There were some medical assistants (MA's) that have already been laid off. As for nursing, we've been over staffed and having to take time off from work so that there aren't too many nurses working at the same time. It's scary! I know that they are wanting more from us, but I don't know how much more we can give without someone leaving the company. I'm just doing what I can to make it harder for them to consider me.
