sick leave

Today went to the staff clinic to get leave for my injury sustained. I went to see the occupational health dr and I managed to get Hospitalisation leave although at first he wanted to give me light duty... Is there such a thing as light duty in nursing? Thats a very funny thought. I cant imagine myself sitting at the counter writing report and picking up phone calls. Even doing bed making or lifting patients, or even applying a plaster for a patient is painful... There is no such thing as light duty for nurses and definately for those with injury of the hands. Without your hand or thumb you cant do much... The previous time i injured my ankle but i could still limp around, however this time my thumb is severely swollen and there is hematoma, I cant see how it can be light duty.

Then when I passed up my mc and HL, my SNM didnt look too happy but i didn't really care. After this leave is my annual leave again... Dun really want to bother too much. My friend said i should have taken 1 week of hospitalisation leave, then could have pushed my AL back... Hehe... but I think it would have been too much like that...

I really feel upset about tha place where i work now. Dunno whether its because i just lost my passion in nursing... Haiz. but besides this i dunno what else I am doing. or am I just tired of everything. My friend said I still look very happy on the outside, but I feel inside I am not really that happy as I seem... Haiz... I feel tired.

Anyways i got not much time to think about this. i got to try to finish my 2000 word essay before saturday!!!
