That's been the story of my days, for weeks it seems.
Running...I do that all day long. And with the remodel, they plan on making my trip longer. We will have the entire building for our unit, so it will be a very long walk. I suppose this means they'll get those tracking devices again soon, for our own safety, of course.
Jumping...was what I did after I got all my notes written. If it wasn't someone coming in, it was someone going out to a test or procedure. One patient had a test and then was sent to acute to resolve an emergent issue. Yes, they do really happen that fast. Why no one noticed is beyond me. I've given up trying to figure out what other people think. My job is to think on my feet and call the cavalry when needed.
Playing with scissors...ah, the joys of teaching. I'm becoming the Queen of WoundVACs, promoted from Princess since the Queen has been on vacation this week. (We like to think we're royalty anyway.) The orientees were impressed. I was impressed with the way the sore I used it on is looking already, after two days of use. I never cease to be amazed at the way some things heal. And I can't understand when some of my coworkers say, "Well, we could just use a wet to dry dressing!" Not on everything you can't. It's just not the same.
I also got to dress and redress a couple other wounds due to various bowel and bladder accidents. Some people will never learn, nor listen to their nurses...arrgh!
More to come...
