Being a staff

The thing that I am worried the most, happened within 4 days after being a staff.

Last summer, people asked me if I want to work in Hong Kong. My answers were the same to everyone -- probably not, because of the workload. The workload in HA is too heavy that sooner or later I will become a robot just to finish the work without care.

The workload right now is considered as normal for a normal staff. However, what I observed right now is that, there is a lack of quality in the service that I am providing, there is overtime work, therefore, there is a lack of quality of life for myself. What a shame.

Honestly, I am quite disappointed in the work that I did within the past week. I just couldn't finish all of them. There is insufficient time to do detailed assessment, therefore, there is insufficient data in identifying the main issue. A couple of patients have multiple joint problems which occupied most of my time and I am screwed for the rest of the day.

Therefore, here's the plan. Start early, documentation during lunch time, overtime for only half an hour. I'd rather improve the quality of service as my priority. Just hopefully, my OT will gradually shorten, and hopefully, as soon as possible.
