Another Lovely Review
When I first started nursing school, I was adamant in knowing I did not want to work as a community nurse going into patients homes. I did not think I would enjoy it and did not want to be alone with patients because I felt like I would not get any support and I would be all alone every time but here I am today, thrilling However, when I was working at a care home one of my co-workers referred me to my current boss and suggested I go for the interview.
I have grown to love community nursing because it gives me more time to spend and talk with my patients one on one. The Pharmacy staff and my boss at Pharmacity Drugstore are super supportive and care beyond their line of duty. They go out of their way to make sure I am doing okay and it really shows.
The people I work with have become family to me, whether that is the Pharmacy team, my boss or my patients. It is hard not to build relationships with patients when I am with them all the time. I definitely have my favorite patients that I go out of my way for. For example: on my favorite patients' birthdays I usually bring them a small piece of cake and card, because I know they make my day a little better and I have been told I make their day on a daily basis. Sometimes my boss comes out with me for certain patients' birthdays. I do not know anywhere else where the BOSS comes out with the nurse to take time out of their busy day and their OWN job to see a patient just because it is their birthday.
This place is definitely something REALLY special and I will miss it when I leave. It makes me sad to leave my favorite patients because I know how much I have impacted them.
Some of the things my patients have said to me are:
“Aw I don’t like that, you are my best girl. You are my favorite”
“You are one of my girls now”
“You make my day”
“You have such a calming presence around me. I knew it as soon as I saw you”
“You aren’t going anywhere until I die. You can’t leave me. I need you. Why can’t you come everyday”
“Stay and talk with me. What do you wanna talk about? Let’s play a game”
“I better see you at least once a week. You make me so happy”
I know I will dearly miss the one on one and time spent with each and everyone of them because of the way they have impacted my HEART, and my life.
It also saddens me to leave my boss because I know she relies on me for everything. She deeply cares and she is generally a fantastic person and someone you want in your life and by your side.
If you choose to have this Pharmacy care for your loved one, you will not be disappointed and you will not have to worry if they are being well cared for. The family members of our patients’ value the communication about their loved ones health status between the nurse, and pharmacist. To know that there is continued communication going on. It gives them a sense of ease. If I had a loved one and they needed help with medication administration I would choose this pharmacy without thinking.
I hope my testimony paints a picture of my experience with this company and what it has done for me and, hopefully, you took something away from it.
