I knew last night would be bad when the thunderstorm outside was so bad it blew open and broke the ambulance bay doors then caused a hospital-wide power outage for a good 30 seconds.
13 hours later, I am so glad to be home. Good Lord I'm glad to be home.
It was rough, folks. I had drunks, patients refuse to leave after discharge, crayzees, multiple peds patients at a time, state police blood draws - for which I will have to show up in court since there was a fatality in the vehicle, very sick people, very obnoxious people, and very drug seeking people.
Crayzee. Seriously.
I might have a beer before bed, is that bad?

One day I woke up and realized I'm not a baby nurse anymore. I'm not even a young nurse. I'm a real adult who has now been doing this for years, and I'm definitely expected to know what I'm doing at all times. And that's fucking terrifying.

Blogs you should go read now
Good blogs gone dormant. Sadface.
DISCLAIMER
HIPAA. Trust and believe, these stories are halfway made-up and halfway made up of lots of other stories. I will protect patient privacy like it's my job. Because it is.
Many of the photos showing mundane things are ones I took. As for memes and other google picture search images, I've been horribly bad at photo crediting - I will be attempting to go back through and properly credit things or remove them if I can't. But rest assured, ain't no real patient pictures up here, folks.
While I appreciate those reading the blog, I don't advertise for any website. I can only be responsible for my own opinion, and thus politely decline any offer to "host a post" or otherwise advertise something not written by me...But thanks anyway!
