This is my fourth week into this 13 week contract. Seems like these contracts go by faster and faster each time!
I have been busy, to say the least. Last shift was incredibly so! If it weren't for the 4:1 ratio, support and ancillary staff, it would have been impossible to provide the level of care needed for the presenting problems. Especially when what seemed like a simple kidney stone, is compounded by a critically low potassium level requiring aggressive replacement therapy, while caring for two sub-arachnoid hemorrhages requiring frequent neuro-checks... enough with the medical jargon...
So far I have had a great time. Great facility, great peers, great location. I have a few days off before my next shift, I feel another ride about is in order! There are a few places I want to visit and see in the area, so no better excuse than having a day off.
There is something about getting on the bike and just going for a ride and unwinding... knowing you have a few days off and not having to think about work. So as this is a turn around day, tomorrow officially starts my three-day weekend! Stay tuned!
