Hi folks,
Just wondering if anyone hates "winter nursing" as much as I do?...LOL... The other night I went in and we had some pneumonia's, a few gastroenteritis's, a couple influena's, and two little old ladies that had fallen on the ice and broken their hips. Errrrrr....I just hate winter nursing and everything that goes with it. I literally feel like a portal of germs by the time I get home. We are always so damn busy in the winter...like I'm sure a lot of you are too. I always find "winter nursing" to be high stressed and our staff always seems way over worked this time of year...not to mention always working short because of all the employee call ins. Oh yeah....and why do little old people insist on getting that darn mail right after a fresh ice storm...hmmmmmm?????? LOL..... Ok..enough venting...I don't want to be a whiner....but I just feel like my love for nursing always seems to take a dive this time of the year. I'm already hoping and praying for SPRING...anyone else?
Yours sincerely (buried in snow, ice and germs, in lovely WI),
