It's a stormy day already here in RehabLand, and Bubba's up early wanting donuts. My head is splitting. AND I double booked myself at work today. I can't wait for this day to be over.
Here are a few points to ponder:
There's always some new technology to learn in nursing. It just amazes me, though, that some people figure out how to "game" it as soon as they can. It really gets scary when this gaming potentially interferes with care.
There's an updated version of this code, but somehow, I don't think people like the Slug actually read (or practice) it.
If you get tired of the bullies, check out this advice on bullying or parallel violence from Katie Duke.
And finally, if you want to feel good about what you do, no matter what, check out this post from KevinMD.
Thank you patients. You are the reason why we are all here.
More later...

Happy Monday!
Reasons I'm happy:
1. It's my last evening shift this week...today! Hopefully, when I get back later in the week, I'll get some new people. I've had a doozy this week, but it's not his fault. When you're a trainwreck, you're gonna have issues.
Thank goodness for therapeutic communication (and some very understanding coworkers) or I'd have jumped out the lunch room window by now.
2. My turkey is thawing. I'll be cooking for my family Thursday, which means Wednesday night will be a late one prepping, chopping and baking some stuff.
3. I am feeling good. So many people I work with are getting colds, etc., and feeling crappy. I went back to sleep this morning and I feel much better. It's amazing how sleeping works!
4. I'll be hosting CoS (Change of Shift) also on Thanksgiving. Another reason to stay up late on Wednesday.
5. Finally, if you're feeling ambushed, check out Jo's latest post at Head Nurse. It made me laugh so hard. My, how people infer things from these blogs!
More later, stay tuned and stay well!
