Lovely shift and other ramblings
Posted 08-Jul-2008 at 12:52 by upsy daisy
Well, had a lovely shift last night - as there was 2 Ward Clerks in (there's usually just me on most of my shifts trying to cover P/N and D/S) I based myself on delivery suite, waiting in the reception area was a lovely couple I got talking to - they were waiting for news on their daughter who'd come in due to PROM of twins.
They were so lovely and patient (not like some visitors who are virtually battering the door down demanding to be let in).
When the M/W came out she whispered to me that the twins were both boys as I had to register them on the system.....we kept this fact and weights etc to ourselves as didn't want to spoil any surprises!!
Afterwards they asked for an address to which to send a compliment letter to as they'd been so impressed with all the staff that they'd encountered, the professionalism and how everyone seemed to care!
This is what I love about the job!!!
Also, Mum came to the rescue today - as you know I'm hopefully starting access in Sept but was slightly worried about the cost of childcare (eldest gets granted hours but youngest will have to be paid for), Mum has offered to work from home on Weds afternoons so that she can have the boys so as long as nursery agree - I'll only have to pay half what I was expecting to pay!!! Just got to speak to the nursery manager tomorrow to see if they can accomodate me!!
Got my 1st midwifery book today - my bailieres dictionary!! Found a couple of interesting things already!! Just waiting for my midwife's story and baby catcher now!!
Things are hopefully starting to slot into place

It's almost as nice to be appreciated, as it is to give someone a positive experience
So great that your Mum can help out. I'm hoping I can work something out when my sprats come along, but Mum lives over 9 hours away at the moment in the far Northwest of Scotland. I'm hoping she'll move

It's great that everything is coming together for you. Soon you will be well on the way. Also sounds like you are loving your job what a lovely experience. Plenty more of those in the future xPosted 08-Jul-2008 at 14:05 by Doodle - haha read it wrong thought they wanted to send a complaint letter not compliment!
Glad you had a fab shift!Posted 08-Jul-2008 at 14:56 by Billynomates -

At least it is all starting to fall into place for you now. It's exciting getting a midwifery book isn't it??
Glad that you are having more positive experiences at work and that you are settling in well and really enjoying it.
