Had a really GOOD night at work :)

Published

I feel like sometimes I focus so much on the bad nights. Yes, this post is bragging but no one around me understands when I say how awesome this night was. I was charge nurse.

1. My medical receptionist brought me Ben and Jerry's and a burrito after her lunch break (I'm pregnant. She likes feeding me)

2. I got FOUR sticks that the primary nurses couldn't get. I used to be the worst stick ever when I started 1.5 years ago. For 6 months I passed every lab draw off to my techs because I was scared!

3. I convinced an extremely confused little old lady to take her meds within 5 minutes. She had had a seizure the night before, and needed her Keppra and she kept saying no. OK even got her to take her Risperdal. Yay!

4. I clocked out at 7:10.

Those are all such simple things but after so many stressful nights, so many missed sticks, etc sometimes that's all it takes :)

Tell me about a GOOD night/day you had at work :)

Awesome thread idea. I've had 2 great back to back shifts myself. Highlight was fixing a bp of 38/19.
