Hi ladies,
Just looking for some understanding/help with my new job. I recently got a new job working part-time, it's closer to home and because I am on contract I get in leau of benefits and vacation so I make the same amount working 3 shifts instead of my full time job in the city that take me away from the kids for about 11-12 hours a day with the commute in. I also work weekends which cuts down on our daycare costs. It absolutely perfect and I love the job itself, there is just one issue that I have and maybe you guys will understand more then anyone else.
I'm working in the ER department and I see at least one women having a miscarrage each shift. It's been extremely difficult for me to deal with. But it's not the patient themselves as I am just a unit clerk and not a nurse, but the nurses and doctors. Their attitude towards it is so cold and some of the comments they make are very hard for me to deal with. I can't really say anything to them now, being new and all, but it's been so hard to see these women as it is, but then to have to deal with some of the comments they make, or how they don't understand the patients behaviour, it makes me so upset. I need to find a way to deal with this in order to do my job. I just don't know how to get through it without getting upset. I lost my babies years ago but it's just still so upsetting to see other ppl going through the same thing. I don't know if I can deal with it everyday that I am at work. Any suggestions?
