I understand your job is to do therapeutic crafts with patients in your clinic.
I don't appreciate it when you leave said patients unsupervised in the area I'm supposed to work and they make such a mess that it will take another two days of housekeeping to clear the air enough so I can breathe again.
Yes, it is a pain that I'm in this space you claim as your own but it's temporary. You only have 4000 square feet elsewhere plus another 3000 of storage. There's only about 400 square feet here free that I can use due to the
Remember nurses take care of the health part of health and wellness in rehab, and if the air's contaminated where I'm supposed to work, I won't be healthy enough to take care of patients.
I'm going to take the high road on this one, but if it gets ugly, I assure you, I'll make sure you don't forget it.
Wishing you many clues,
Sincerely,

if the air is being contaminated with fumes from craft supplies, then probably the craft supplies are not safe for the patients to be exposed to fumes, either! I imagine the incidence of other risk factors for lung disease (smoking, occupational exposures) is higher among your guests than in a general population sample.
Surprisingly, I've found out they do most of their work without patients around (a plus).
The minus is that I'll have to vacate this space while they're mixing plaster.
No one bothered to tell the chief logistics person for our area.
Nothing, frankly surprises me. I'll be glad when this month is over (and I'll be praying for on time construction timetables more than ever!)
Unfortunately this is part of being a nurse. A lot of things will not go as plan and is up to you to make it better.
