Back is aching... oof. It creaks every time I walk anywheres...eep. I think need to go to the chiropractor but I am not booked in till Monday afternoon. Now I know what K is talking about when she says her shoulder aches all the time, ccause my lower back has been doing the same.
Work was... well.. what can you say. I get to do..*joy of joys* nightshift (graveyard) next month)...wooooweee. I am so overjoyed...not. Couldn't exactly say.. "nope I don wanna" when the boss was asking as in telling me I had to.
Then I got 8 patients all to myself, not one of them didn't have an IV or antibiotics or additives. One of them was on hourly measures and obs. I had 2 post op patients, and 2 to get ready for surgery that they were going for at 7:30am this morning. I had to go in to one of my patients at 10pm last night and wake them up so I could do an ECG. *le sigh*
It was too much work for one person, let alone for the poor new grads who had 7 patients to themselves after having 3 or 4 during their orientation week. The grad who was working my end went really well, though I could guess her mind may be on cutting down her hours at the moment... poor girl! She would be better at Gossie, at least at Gossie you don't get 7 or 8 patients, you only have 6.
okay I am going to relax and try desparately not to think about work now.
