I'm at work right now and wow, we only have 2 patients on the floor.
Granted, we're a small floor with a capacity of 14, but we only have
two! It's fantastic. I've never been here for a census this low ( Read more... )

I will be out of communication from Saturday through Monday, since I'm doing 3 13 hour shifts in a row. I despise doing 3 in a row, I really do.

Wedding planning is reeeeally involved and headache-inducing. But I love it.

I have the day off, and boy does it feel nice. I know I have to clean, but I feel like doing nothing and just catching some more episodes of Lost online in HD (I'm trying to catch up so I can watch it in the fall ( Read more... )

Okay, so I have about a million things to do, but I need to take some time to write in here ( Read more... )

Well, I gave it to her once yesterday, assuming it was okay because we use the same drug in PCA form (the patient-controlled ( Read more... )

Ugh, I don't think anyone but other nurses can ever understand the shit we go through sometimes. When it's a bad day, it's a really bad day. We're on our feet all day, and when we have a bad day, we're on our feet for the full 13 hours we're there. My typical day is get to work at 6:30 am just so that I can attempt to get a little jump start on my ( Read more... )
