Working full time at the nursing home was a 16 hour shift of hell. Between annoying elderly patients and coworkers who half ass do their job Mariah didn't know what she couldn't stand more which was why she was happy as hell she was getting to clock out and have a weeks vacation out of this prison.
Break was over so it was time to clock back in for the last 30 minutes, she placed her name tag back on and wiped the breadcrumbs off her lavender purple nursing set from the Panera Bread lunch she had and proceeded back into the building trying to make it back in time to clock in she knocked a patients family member drink to the ground.
"Omg i am so sorry Mr. I didn't see you at all." i tried pleading my case to ease the situation before he ran to my boss. they were quick to do that around here.
"It's okay ma' relax." the male said grabbing a napkin he'd had in his pocket out to wipe the spilled soda off his Moncler jacket. "Vern." his Memphis accent was thick it was actually very attractive.
"I owe you for that drink give me a second." I went to dig in my scrubs pockets and pulled my wallet out but he stopped me.
"Chill. What kind of man would i be to take money from a woman?" he shook his head and put my hand back into my pockets. "A name will suffice."
"Mariah." i replied suddenly feeling a lump in my throat.
"Pretty name for a pretty girl. Do you take care of this hall? My mother stays down in room 222 her name is Rose."
"Oh yeah this is my hall but i only do bloodwork and vitals. The CNA's do all the care taking but i do have some genuine conversations with some of these patients and i love Mrs. Rose! she only lets us call by first name." i said chuckling
He smiled revealing his pearly whites. "Yeah that's my momma says being called by her last name just makes her feel old."
"Yeah she doesn't even want us adding the Mrs infront of it."
"For her to be losing her memory she still got that sass guess it just in you." i noticed his energy shifting i could tell his mom was a tough spot for him.
And now that i think about it on her white board is a count down to her demise. she not only suffering from memory loss but her health is starting to decline due to her refusing food and treatment from nurses who just didn't care enough to force her to take it.
"Ms.Rose is a sweet soul. Even with everything going on she still brightens the day here wjth her crazy antics." i said trying to console him.
