HEY again

I am just going to say they DID IT AGAIN!!!...for the last 4 days...i have gone to work with a granola bar and a cup of juice...and not gotten to eat lunch until after 3....i am feeling pooped

Today was a day from he......I had a patient with twins arrive on the unit in labor...previous c-section...and sooo..off i go to surgery...while recovering that patient....the patient next to her...decided to deplete herself of much needed blood...and sooo sent the poor nursing student to the floor with my patient....and then spent 6 hrs...giving blood...and taking orders from a doc that i wanted to DO a little more.....well..you know labor and delivery does not USUALLY have to deal with this kind of stuff...but when we do....we do it up ........and soooooooo...i am tired.........

and now...i will say thank you for letting me vent..and complain...!..no i did not run...but I think if you had seen what we did...you could say we ran.............i know for sure that i have a beaten path to the lab......and p.s....the patient is stable in icu as we speak.....so..it was all worth it......

hope your day is good....patti g.

    I use to be a nurse aide in a hospital, on a floor that handled various ailing patients, so I know exactly what you mean. You did your running for the week!
