RN check-in

Any of my lovely RN mamas working tongiht? How's it going?

I have been pretty busy, but I needed to take a few minutes to myself to check TB for the first time all day.

My admission just came ... a 500lb man with herpes lesions over his entire body (including his eye). He is SO nice, and I feel so bad because it looks ridiculously painful. But seriously, I couldn't make this *** up.

I also have a lady with retinal necrosis, going blind from varicella zoster in her eye. Have I mentioned that I get grossed out by eye problems? Ewww.

Then of course I have the token confused 92-year old setting off the bed alarm every 5 minutes. And the aspiration pneumonia patient in with his third stroke. Top it off with my ETOH pancreatitis DKA man, and I have myself a set of winners.

On a postitive note, we had a delicious chocolate cake for a co-worker that is moving to FLA. I worked with three pregnant coworkers tonight (all due withint a few weeks of each other in Sept/Oct). I am totally jealous, and I love all the pregancy/baby talk. I would recommend TB, but this is my secret place. Zip it! 

If you are working tonight, I hope that you are having a smooth night. My night is not nearly as bad as it sounds. Just typical 6 west!

    I am not an RN but I am up for now. I just wanted to say I've missed you around TB recently! I know life busy but I'm glad to see you haven't given up on us. I hope the rest of your night goes well! :-)

    Thanks! I haven't given up on you guys at all. I have been so busy lately. I never seem to get a minute to check online anymore. There are just not enough minutes in the day. I try to catch up every couple of days, but I definitely feel out of the loop.

    Hmmm nothing too notable :-) we did our weekly games so far! I know you've been busy and I admire what you are doing for yourself and mason :-) I wish there was a way to accomplish everything that needs to get done in a day. I think I need to hire someone to fold my laundry and that will make a difference. What have you and mason been up to in your time together? I finally took LO on the swings and he looooved it! :-)

    Car shopping, grocery shopping, working, laundromat (I miss my washer/dryer!). You know ... all sorts of fun stuff! Wink

    We also try to get to the playground every day. Mason loves the swings too. I am lucky that they are so close to my house.

    We haven't been doing anything different really ... life just seems busier for some reason. Maybe you can send that laundry-folder over here when you are done. I have a ton of Mason's clothes that I didn't get to finish before work.

    I didn't work last night, but am on call for the next 2.

    I have two patients in rapid decline ( I'm a hospice RN).  So I'm sure I will be called out this evening, since my on call starts at 5pm.

    Don't hate me, but I'm on a 12 day vacation from work!  A week of vacation, plus an extra day off, plus my normal stretch = 12 glorious days away!  DS and I are just spending some great time together while I'm off...today is day 2 of being off!

    Besides that, I don't envy your patients...I love taking care of the little babies and not having to worry about breaking my back (it's already broken from lugging DS around) and gross adult germs!
