Maturity is achieved when a person accepts life as full of tension. ~Joshua L. Liebman
That was my story recently. I had to work a shift I don't normally work and it messed me up. I'm used to the rhythms of the unit and at that hour, I was thoroughly confused.
Prioritizing everything was crazy, especially when one of your patients decides to be sick near the end of the shift. Thankfully, I had help in getting things done. I would have never made it without the crew and a few others jumping in as their shift was just starting.
Now I'm still stressed, but progressing. Family visiting from out-of-town means I'm busy cleaning, being soccer mom, being an innkeeper, providing entertainment, on top of it all finishing my semester of grad school.
One of these days, all the events will be over and I'll wonder what happened.
When is my next vacation? Not soon enough! Stay tuned....
