Yearly Review

We are employees, we are evaluated. In our business it happens yearly, around our date of hire. We participate in "Skills Day", get our annual "TB Test" and go on our merry way.  But, there is always something our "bosses" will focus on..............its their duty.

Yearly Review

An exhaustive review

At my annual Eval,

When my boss examines closely

My employment, pal,

They've been keeping tabs on me

Stored carefully in my file,

The balance beam of Authority

At odds, with my peculiar style.

I won't do phone calls

Stupid Satisfaction Survey,

I don't like Surgical pre-ops

Not within my purvey,

But I do play Flex-Nurse

And temporary Charge,

That's what I'm banking on

My presence, at large.

I keep tabs on the workload

I will know all of the client's,

Histories and procedures

And every known appliance,

I'll know where they came from

And exactly how they'll bleed,

Should a crisis arise

I'm the one that you'll need.

You want to fit me

Into the mold of your dream,

Adjust your preconceptions

Before you let off some steam,

Because my dutiful rescues

Will save you, unexpected,

Just when you thought, "all is lost"

When I'm there, you're protected.

I won't bitch about breaks

I don't really care,

I need a snack on the 4 hours

Patients are needy, I am there,

That's why I work

My 12 hours and more,

It is not about me

This is a client driven store.

Sure, I need to stop

And have a bite to eat,

Everyone needs that kind of thing

But, that's not my beat,

I won't fill out forms

That claim, I didn't rest,

There are people here who need us

And they expect the best.

When I'm on that day

There will be a sense of security,

No matter how nasty it gets

I bring a sense of purity,

That will cut through the bullshit

And get the best things done,

A few of us can offer that

We are the ones.

So, it's my annual review

Boss, I know you have to say your piece,

Currently, you can't live without me

Though, I'm not your favorite niece,

You don't need to offer me Disneyland

No, you need to say, "Dude",

Without you, we would completely

Become totally unglued.
