- I had to tell the son of a patient to stop involving me in his power struggle with my preceptor. Yesterday, he told one of the doctors lies about my preceptor. Today, he told his doctor that I withheld a medication that he explicitly identified while I was giving it.
- Later that day, the same son recited (out loud) the Lord's Prayer and several Hail Mary's over and over again while we did our job- which maybe wouldn't be so significant if it weren't for the fact that he wasn't doing it when we walked in and he got louder the longer we were in there. I just prayed that God would make me nicer. Because I was out of niceness by that point.
- Psych consults are a good thing and we should be able to order them on anyone that comes in a hospital.
- Today at a new grad event, I tried to make an impression out of 600+ other soon-to-be new grads... and new grads that were done in 2008. 2008!!! It doesn't help that when I asked two people how I stand out of a crowd of 600+, one told me to drop my pants and the other told me to run around naked. Not quite the impression I was looking for. Nudity is never a good option.
- Seriously, 600+ people? All hoping to be hired at one stinking hospital?!? And here's the thing that gets me: I was downright PISSED at the people who were at this thing from out of state, Northern California (no offense, love the Nor Cal- downright prickly when I have to compete with them for a job in my own backyard), heck, out of my county at this point. IT'S NOT THAT RAD HERE!!!! GO AWAY!!!!!! It's expensive and there's too much traffic already. Go away. And there was a sprinkling of international people. Do NOT get me going on that.
- The day after tomorrow, I have my LAST nursing exam (but not the final). And I could care less. I have no motivation to study. Yeah, nursing school! You should totally apply.
- The more I type, the more the level of the red wine in my glass sinks.
- The other night, I didn't even wake up when the Tall One got home. I apparently just smiled and never opened my eyes when he talked to me, which makes me no different from the neuro patients I had earlier this semester. That was after back-to-back shifts.
- I've been trying out different ways to take naps in the afternoon, in prep for the night shift job for which I won't be hired. My current setup of dark-colored sarongs over the window and ear plugs works great. Not sure how that meshes with Reggae Sunsplash next door, but we'll cross that bridge when we get there.
- Oh so sad, out of red wine. Don't worry, there was less than half a bottle when I started.
Well, I'm done further depressing myself! That was fun! Not really.
I'm going to be the only waitress in town that can run your code and manage your central venous pressure while serving you breakfast. Bacon and eggs with a side of hemodynamic monitoring. Hot plate, pickitup!!!
