Weekend Wonder

 

          Well I survived the weekend LOL barely. It was crazy. At work, Saturday morning, I had just given report to the oncoming nurse, I was free. Then I made the mistake of looking over at her to say goodbye and noticed she did not look too good. Ugh, I should have just walked away (not really) but I went over to assess the situation. I figured she just needed some encouragement that it wouldn't be so bad LOL nope, she was in distress. I drug her down the hall, in a rolling office chair, up to the nurses' station, where she immediately went nonresponsive and everyone freaked out!!! We had to call a code on her. Almost had to start CPR on the floor because no bed. Thankfully with so many staff around, we were able to transfer her into a rolling recliner, throw some oxygen on her, vital sign machine hooked up to her, and dashed her downstairs to the ER. Now, though, I was stuck LOL I couldn't go home because nobody to watch the patients I had just signed off on. I ended up having to stay almost 2 hours extra until they found somebody to come takeover for me. I was tired already, and I still had to come back Saturday night. Saturday night was a whole other disaster. I got only 3 1/2 hours sleep before I had to come back in to find out all of my patients had been discharged and now I was going to be admitting patients all night. I was so busy. Only good part is it made night go by quick. I was worn out mentally and physically by the time I left this morning. BUT at least nobody died or fell LOL those are my only two things I don't want happening. I keep my standards and expectations low LOL.
