Yesterday was a good shift! Scheduled for eight and sent home after four hours. I feel like a kid with a new bike whenever I get out of work early - who cares that is cost me about well never mind!
I was on one of the medical surgical floors. I a very good four hours. I went in with one angry lady as a patient. She was fuming because she was on her call bell and no one answered. The lady needed to pee and needed help to the pot. I immediately helped her and checked on her often and she became the sweetest thing. She would wanted to know someone was around when she needed them. Cannot blame her for that!
In fact, all the patients I had were very low acuity and very nice. I like surgical patients. I love the SICU especially, but medical surgical are okay. I think I like them because the majority have their surgery, get better and return back to their normal life. There is hope at the end of the process and that is a good thing. CVICU has the same thing happening. Patients have a bad ticker, get some new grafts and fell better - it just takes them a little longer.
I love seeing someone going from the worst possible to walking and feeling like they can recover all in a few days. It makes me feel like maybe I am doing something good!
