back to work?!

Cant believe im due to go back to work on saturday night. Im a nurse and am shitting myself! 2 and a half weeks post op so ive had a good time off but just so scared of going back. I work on a busy ward and know that im going to have to do things im not meant too, argh!! Had my procedure in my holidays too, thats the nhs for ya!!

I’m having my procedure during my holidays too, I dont know if many employers let us girls take the time as sick because we have chosen to have an op.

Good luck with your first night back x

I’m back tomorrow, only an office job but don’t want go back!

Oh crikey katielouise cant believe they’ve put you on nights as your first shift, i’m a nurse too, week post op, they said couldnt take it as hols coz of having surgery, i got signed off for two weeks but my ward manager rang me today and she wants me take another week off coz of the problem i had and when i go back i’ll be on light duties and only allowed to do earlies mon to fri to ensure I dont do anything im not supposed to, they’ve been brilliant, hope it goes ok and dont do anything your not supposed too hunni xx

Im hoping its ok too!! Only 3 of us on nights so i have to do things im not suppose to really. I know nights is poo. Im a bit worried in case there are any arrests too cos i feel that if i do compressions my implants will just pop out! Work arent really supportive and it feels like they have done all they can to spite me! oh well it will look bad if i have a week sick now, just have to hope for the best, x

Cant believe they’re not being supportive thats really bad, have you let occy health know? Thats the problem with nights when theres only 3 of you on, you’ll just have to make sure that the other two are aware if they’re decent they should really support you, good luck xx

im dreading going back monday i will be 2 weeks po and i work in a private nursery with 35 children, 18ths to 4 years old so a lot of picking up, nappy changing and cleaning after meals and all the rest.

You mean just in general let occy health know about my op incase anything happens?

Yes definately Katie and tell them that the ward is aware too because the ward should have put you on light duties, its bang out of order mate xx

Hi Katie hope you dont mind requested friendship x

oh my god, just rang occupational health and she said why have i agreed to go back to work after 3 weeks, then she said if i am unfit for work i will have to take unpaided leave and her suggestion is to delegate tasks i cant do to other people. She has obviously never worked on a ward before! in alot of pain today too cant imadgine doin saturday sunday night shifts without pain, will have to dose myself up with ibroprofen and just do what i can! sorry for the rant!!
