Today was a DAY :\
I don't know how to describe it other than WTF?! I had 5 patients, 4 of which were complete cares, of those 4, 3 were confused, with one of them getting progressively more confused as the day went on. The guy was lying in bed and kept yelling "HELP, I'M FALLING!!" grr....
In the meantime we had 2 RRT's (rapid response team). Then the patient I sent to the GI lab for a PEG tube replacement comes back with a blood sugar of 59, gee thanks.
Of course, at change of shift we get an ER admission and a post-op. Nice :)
I try to work out the next shift assignment and am rewarded by the grumpy 3-11 shift being pissed off at what was left for them to do. Give me an effing break!
I was throwing verbal bombs all day long, but then it got so bad it became funny. Then it was really funny.
Laughter is good, I hope I never lose the humor of my job, even though it can be very serious, it can also be so extremely stressful that it either becomes laughter or tears. Today it was laughter.
Ok, bedtime now. :)

Great spin on your day! Laughter is such a joy, and it's good to find humor in things that might otherwise cause you to lose your marbles!
Seriously... neither of us has a job where crying in our bathroom (which I would *never* do ;0) helps us --
Hey! You're not following me :( What's up with that?!?! (hee hee)
