How odd is this??

I work in our hospitals snf unit, we hold 18 bed and had 15 pts this am with 2 admits expected, 4 hoyers pts and 2 coming were also. Mondays always suck, always. Our clinical leader/charge is excellent, but extremely anal and nasty on Mondays--wonderful lady, and I understand her stress level on Mondays all to well.

Anyway, our staff has been hit horridly by the flu. Only 2 floor nurses and the charge on today --Well the charge and other nurse both called in sick, leaving me stuck being charge with 2 wonderful float rns.:) Then after politely begging the house supervisor we got another rn.:D This of course was over our core staffing, but after the crazy weekend, it was wonderful. All three were excellent nurses, so nice and pleasant. They did no complaining or whining, reported wonderfully.........I had the best day being stuck as charge than I've ever had before. I just could nto believe how wonderful this was........what a day shoud be like. Nothing like the usual moaning, complaining, whining regular nursing staff that I have gotten used too and wear me down with their constant issues. The day was still insane, but so much better......I was so grateful to experience that, it renewed a lot of my faith in the day to day nursing experience.

Very odd indeed. Your hospital must of finally broken down and started piping Prozac into the water system. :)

The next time you are overwhelmed, remember this day. I celebrated an agency shift I had about a month ago on tele. The floor was staffed with relatively new Grads with limited vascular access experience. Every single patient left their good veins home. I started 5 IV's that night, none were my patients. I had 3 new best friends that night.

WHAT???? People floated and was busy and no whining or complaining? You asked for help and actually got an RN????

How odd indeed.

The only reason I got the rn was because my campus is busy from the discharges from the main campus which is currently flexing people like crazy with low census. :roll :roll

I still am amazed, they cooperated together their lunch breaks, their discharges and admissions.....I still feel like I left the twilight zone.

Great little story, Lisa!

Hope you see more of that.

You had about 20 pts (6 full asssists) with 3 RNs..Do you have CNAs or have to do total care on all pts?
