Do you worry about your patients after leaving work?

[gigglymo]

I know my fellow nurses are perfectly capable (and in some cases more capable than I am: experience wins every time) of taking care of everyone, but there are some patients that I can't help thinking about after I leave. Augghh! I'm almost looking forward to going back to work in a couple of days just to be sure all's well. Is that normal?

Not worry, but more in the lines of being curious about what tests/interventions/orders the pt would be getting esp those times I lave while the pt is trending down.
