No huge stories to tell--no drama, dammit! LOL!
We set up a million loaner cpaps, pulse oxes on traumas and post-ops and ...more of the same.
I am amazed at our particular hospital how we do seem to have a phenomenon of people-- a certain class of people--who seem to get excited about going to the hospital because it's the closest thing to staying in a nice hotel they'll (and their family will) get. That makes me sad and frustrates me a bit to see people...ahem...using, let's say, the system.
Eh.
We still do the best we can with everybody.
And then we come home, eat breakfast, and go to bed. What do I care, right? I get paid the same no matter what.
I do find that these things and busy nights like last night weigh less heavily on me and I like seeing that change in myself. I see the growth from when I was a young woman in the hotel business who took everything so personally to now where I do the best job I can, I know I'm doing the best job I can, but if a nurse here and there decides to chew my butt because I'm not fast enough or I don't give her what I want...I don't really take that personally like I used to. I deal with it but it doesn't really change who I am or how I feel about the job I'm doing or whether or not I have a good night.
That's a nice place to be inside my own head.
