One headache almost over...

Manglement sometimes gives me headaches. Like recently, when I asked nicely for my presentation to be approved.

Nope. The CNO says wait, so we all wait. No one knows why. I think CNO just did it because.

Thankfully, my presentation passed muster except for a very minor omission. I fixed it, now I just have to fly it by legal.

If all of the world were so easy to navigate, we'd all be sitting on the world's largest iceberg.

Here's wishing we have some global warming soon!

Stay tuned for our next exciting installment...

Sobering

That was how my week ended. My patients were doing well, fluffed and buffed, but elsewhere on the unit, there was a cloud.

No, not the "happy cloud" the instructors told people to go to in the class some of our cohorts took, but a pall of the doom you know is coming.

One patient came in and within a couple of hours got his first order of vitamin K and some more elaborate diagnostic tests. Someone was drinking a little more than they let on...

Another got the bad news that he's got a terminal illness. No timeline yet, so he just hid under the covers most of the day.

Finally, I managed to bugger up the med cart. Technology is great, but the instructions on resetting it were not. Trial and error can be your friend, but when you're busy, you just don't want to go there.

Thankfully, I resolved the problem and got things to work. Hooray! More to come next week. Enjoy the rest of your weekend...wherever you are!
