An aside: I have never worked med/surg before and I find that my floor is the only one that 'doesn't have the budget' for staffing. The other day I was the ONLY PCA there with 22 pts and the call light ringing my phone literally before I could get it back in my pocket from the previous call. All that, and I'm still supposed to get certain tasks accomplished, like I&O, collecting trays, checking inconts, taking out linen, ect.
I don't feel like this is safe or fair, but being so new I'm not sure if I'm just overwhelmed or if there's anything I can do. I said something to mgt. and they just said "tell me about it, I know."

Steve: I know. Heh.
If you're going to get that shit-faced, you should just stay home. Geez.
Re: work
Give it time. If you're still overwhelmed then you can complain.
