I have to brag...

Specializes in ICU and EMS.

I wanted to take a minute to say--

I work with some awesome nurses!!

As some of you know, I left my first nursing position after a year in search of better teamwork. Well, I found it!!

The last shift I worked, we got slammed! All of us were stretched to our limits and then some. Our nurse manager came out to take over the charge nurse role, and we got slammed with yet another admission. My heart fluttered when she jumped up and took the admission herself! We all worked together to get done what was necessary. High-fives and "good jobs" were passed around at the end of the shift like I had never seen before.

Awesome, awesome, awesome! I have always dreamed about working someplace like this, and now I do!!

THANK YOU to all of the nurses, techs, and support staff that make crazy days bearable and sometimes even fun!

[Ok, now I'm done bragging!]

Sure makes a great shift, doesn't it? I think we need to brag and compliment the good; not just talk about the bad...

What a wonderful story! I think the take away message for all of us is, if you are in a managerial position, jump in and help your staff. In turn, they will walk on hot coals for you when you really need them to come through for you.
