"Today in my ER"....super bummed out

Please tell me what you would have seen or done in your ER today, I don't care if you think it's boring, or the same old thing. Heck, I'll even take your ER vents, if you hate it and can't wait to get out.... I just need a little motivation to keep me going while I do my make-up packet.


I was supposed to have my ED observation rotation today, for my Med/Surg clinical. My instructor is sick and canceled today's clinical. I have been waiting YEARS to get back into an ER. A 12 hour rotation experience as an EMT student in the ER is a major part of my going into nursing. I have very little hope that this instructor will allow me into the ER next week; if you miss it you miss it, others are scheduled for next week, it's a privilege, not a gaurantee, etc. And next week is our last clinical. I have been so excited about this rotation since before the semester began, and all semester when I got my calendar, counting the weeks. I don't think I see the ER again in the final two semesters. And, no, my getting a job as a tech or CNA in the ER is not realistic for my family right now. I wish.

I was hoping to see whether or not this area is really what I want, or if I've romanticized my experience into something better than what it was. I love nursing, I just want to know if the area that motivated me is what I thought it would be.

Thank you, Sarah
