So, this is how nutty my usual day goes when I walk into work....Walk into the nursing supervisors office area to sign in. Hoping that there won't be any executive nursing supervisors in there....but there always are. And they ALWAYS ask me about my school and....just questions a mother would ask. Which I'm not complaining....just saying that it happens almost every day I go to work :-D. After I walk onto the unit, I usually like to say hello to all of the patients as well as the 1st shift staff (even though I'm REALLY thinking, "I wonder how much crap, I'm going to have to clean up" because 1st shift NEVER cleans or restocks their "tools") UGH!
I usually go to the back (where the break room is and my awesome :-) Locker!) only to find that the treatment team (the doctors and nurses that evaluate patients mental wellness) are only on the D's for last names...(when clearly there are at least 20 more patients) so, having to deal with that sucks. Have to take patients back to see the T team and.....yeah some of the patients are pretty mad (doc won't give them certain meds...or can't leave yet, etc) So, THAT can get out of control......so you see where this is going? I will finish the rest in a later blog....I want to get the point of my regular day. :-P so, My unit gets a call from admissions and there was some sort of fiasco going on with an older guy and his lighter.....so natural we would send a male. WE HAD NO MALE, he happened to be on break....so, I volunteered to go down and help handle the situation. When I arrived to admitting, The older fellow was hunched over with the lighter TIGHTLY gripped with both hands, shaking. Twas strange...Never saw anyone so possessive about a lighter....:-P. So, how to approach someone like that? REALLY SLOW!!! Then I just asked him if I could have the lighter....and he handed to me. He must have not liked men :-D So, it all worked out!!! All smiles, patient and staff!
So, today's rating of suckyness was only 4 :-D YAY for not such sucky days :-D!!!!
Oh, and I have my video up for Darks Contest!!! :-D Wish me luck ;)
