This one's for the RN's.......

This week I worked the night shift.

I only had one patient but he kept me busy.
I didn't consume any caffeine but I could have used some.
I didn't call a doctor, but almost.
I didn't chart my assessment until now but no one is going to tell the 'boss lady'.
Instead of call lights it was crying.
The verdict wasn't 'chronic back pain'--Instead it was teething (but who knows...)
My nursing interventions were cuddling, cheek kissing, and rocking--Instead of guided imagery (who even does that?)


The up side?
At least baby diapers beat adult ones.

PS- My patient was Jakey and yes he is feeling better. Thank goodness!

This is so cute. From one nursing job to another, right?

Have you gone back to work yet?

Nursing skills put to good use. So glad he's feeling better.
