it's christmas eve! Bah humbug

[jrbl77]

:crying2:ah, the joys of the holidays. Made espically nice when your co workers call in sick and you are left to fend for yourself. Only another Nurse would understand why I feel like bah humbug tonight. I just got home from working what was supposed to be a 12 hr shift on Christmas eve day. Well it turned out to be 14 hrs with eating on the run and only minimul bathroom breaks. I had 10 pts on my med surg unit. 4 on isolation, multiple IVPB, finished passing my 09 meds at 1230. discharged 3 and had to re admit 1. Had a pt that got pain meds IV every 2 hrs and pain never under a 9. Of course being a holiday, no one from admin was in the house to offer any help. Well just getting this off my chest does help a little. I am off for Christmas, but get to go back on the 26th. Happy Holidays to all!

OK, I'm just gonna have to hold a few of you down and IVP some *wine

And since some of you qualify as true emergent cases, I guess I'll have to give you my last pieces of :BDCk:too. And as for that other "service" some of you are in dire need of... you can forget it, my charity only goes so far.

I'm going to bust through my screen to get at that cake!
