I think it was a week flying by...
Although, it has been a bit strange. Some shifts have been busy, some not so much... even got to leave two hours early one night, as it is sort of hard to justify having more nurses than patients. Luckily, no last minute surge occurred.
Someone remarked the other day, that "the season" is beginning to sputter out. If I see them tomorrow, I plan on punching them in the arm!
Last night was one of the busiest shifts I have ever had here. For me: two, back to back, pediatric transfers by air, a total of seven admits, being pulled to start difficult IVs, cut rings off, assist with procedures... let alone the countless discharges. Now multiply that by all of my peers, all having a similar shift. Even the Float Nurses, no assignment - just there to help, were themselves sinking!
Come to think about it, I am going to wait a few hours, and punch them again in the exact same spot... just so they remember.
