Welcome all to Ruadh Caillagh's Page!!!

Well, I'm home alone right now. Danny and Troy are in Houston, visiting with Danny's parents. I wasn't able to go because of work. Sometimes, I really hate the idea of working for a living!! LOL But, most things are looking good. I'm pretty sure that I got the pay raise that I was promised. I'll find out on the 10th for sure. I'm getting a new pink scooter!! I can't wait to get it. I start school in a little over a month (kinda scary, but still good). Danny just found out that he got hired on fu… Continue

Well, I walked out of Willow Park Health Care Center last Friday afternoon. I am currently unemployed! They had promised me a raise effective immediately on the 6th of May. When I picked up my paycheck on Friday, that pay raise wasn't there. When I asked the DON about it, she blew me off. When I said that I wouldn't be coming back, she said "If you quit, that's your problem". I told her that NO, it wasn't my problem, it was her's. I don't need Willow Park, but they DO need me. They are already s… Continue

I'm going to be staying at Willow Park as an LPN. I spoke with the DON and the administrator about my leaving the end of the week. They offered me a big pay raise and the shift that I wanted in order to go back to school. There were some other things discussed, but essentially, it means that I'll be staying here. I didn't really want to leave here in the first place. I just needed to start thinking for myself as far as school was concerned. Plus, it means that I'll be able to sleep with my boyfr… Continue

I spoke with a friend and former co-worker about the place she's working at now. She says there's a $500 sign-on bonus, a "flex schedule" program, and they're willing to work with me going back to school!!! I'm going to talk to them on Monday. My mom's always telling me that there's drama no matter where a person goes to work, but the crap at Willow Park is getting to be way too much. I haven't even bothered to enroll in school because the way things are there right now, there's no way I could d… Continue

I just thought that I'd update some things from that night. As I said in my original post, I was the only nurse there the first four hours of the shift. No big deal except when shit like that night happens. BUT....there were three nurses on the West hall. Tell me why a CNA from West hall had to come get me in the midst of all this crap happening because none of the nurses from West hall would go look at a resident that had blood everywhere? One of the nurses told the CNA that it wasn't her resid… Continue
