Why am I an ER nurse again?

[RNin92]

Just had the worst day today.

Coded a 50 y/o MR man for 2 hours...damn Epi...

His poor family...

Had a 48 y/o dissection...

A 46 y/o MI...

13 y/o with a new abd mass...

And just for fun...

A "mass casualty" at a local grade school...30-40 sick kids passing out...

And every person that lives in my county...I swear...

My 14 bed ER had 18-20 patients all day

My 6 bad fast track ran with 6 or 8 ER patients all day...

My waiting room NEVER had less than 15 waiting all day..

All but a handful were ER patients.

Why am I an ER nurse again?

My feet hurt

My head hurts

I feel like I was hit by a Mack truck

I cannot make another decision to save my life

Why am I an ER nurse again?

WOW. you guys are all so encouraging!! this is why we do it. i thank God for all my coworkers because when it comes down to it you know you can count on all of them. all the sarcasm aside, nowhere else in nursing do you have the relationships that you make in the trenches.

thanks guys. i can do it for another day!!!
