Emergency?

On Monday, we had about an hour discussion during the “all staff” meeting about what constitutes a legitimate reason to page the on-call chaplain.

Tonight, I got a page at 7:05 to unit 3A, the secure chemical dependency unit. This unit has a chaplain that they hire directly…not through Spiritual Health Services, so usually, when the on-call chaplain does get called to this unit, the procedure is to contact that specialist chaplain.

Except, tonight, I got called because the nurse was looking for the large print Bible.

Yeah.

I double checked with my supervisor, but I suggested that perhaps this could wait until morning, since I was not actually at the hospital.

Supervisor and I did have a little laugh that this played right into my concern of over-doing über caretaking Super Chaplain expectations.

Hopefully, that will be the last page for the night.

Welcome to the new (and hopefully permanent) home of This Journey. It's good to have people walking along, especially during the bumpy parts. I can be contacted at not.fainthearted at gmail dot com. Or leave a comment!
