I need track shoes

On some days this is true and recent shift was one of those days. My two patients were slow, so I read up a little on them, got things going, then my admission (one of several, so all RNs got one) shows up almost 2 hours early.

It was just run, run, run after that. One catheter works, one doesn't. Had to call in the catheter cavalry (our resource nurse) to get the  last one in. Not sure how the patient's home health nurse got a non-Coude in him, but I went with the resource nurse's suggestion of a Coude. Happily, we had one in his size. Much joy!

At least, I wasn't ordered to get urine drug screens on a few of our folks, like some of my coworkers. Apparently, the weather was so nice this weekend, a few patients found some interesting "herbs" in the nearby forest area. The doc on call was suspicious yesterday and he/she decided to make it a fun Monday by requesting the drug tests.

I also got a couple of other tasks since one of the nurses went home early, but got them done and out the door I went. It was just stupid.

Bubba decided not to go to baseball practice this afternoon. With the beginning of spring, we are now getting into the beginning of allergy season here in RehabLand.

More later...stay tuned!
