Yesterday I got a call at 4:30 AM and I was told to stay home on call. No problem, I've done it before. I'm thinking...awesome, I can sleep in and enjoy my day. Nope. At 6:02 AM the nursing supervisor called and told me to float to another area. It's an area that I've never worked in before and most people don't like to be floated to. They pulled the BS that they always pull over there and I told my boss, just as I was told to do. She e-mailed them and they came up with the BS excuse that they didn't know I had never worked there before (even though I told every single person I came into contact with) and admitted that I was not oriented to the department. Geez ya think? I walked around in circles like a damn moron trying to find things. It was not a good situation. I just hope I never have to float there again but hey, I'm sure I will. I got floated back to Peds, where I am extremely comfortable. We had 5 admissions and it was completely crazy. And we had a float nurse who said she'd come in and work IF.SHE.DIDN'T.HAVE.TO.WORK.WITH.KIDS. So she's being asked to float to Pediatrics but she's refusing to work with kids. Hmmmmmm what is wrong with that sentence? We did have two adults so she took those but that didn't help SHIT when we have 5 kids admitted. So while she sat on her ass the R.N. and I admitted 5 kids. Finally the R.N. got swamped and needed more than just my help (since I can't start IV's or anything) so they floated in yet another nurse who is willing to help with children. That helped but it was almost too little, too late. She got there by the time we admitted the last kid when we needed her 4 kids ago. And did I mention I had to leave for an hour to go to the doctor's appointment after the first 2 admissions? It was not fun. So basically by the time I got in the car to go home I was ready to leave and not come back for a few days. Here's hoping the tomorrow is better. It's Friday though and that doesn't give me much hope. Between that and the shit going on at home it's been stressful. I need a fucking vacation for sure. past and future A few hours my ass! - 2007-05-07

I am a 34-year-old college student, mom, friend and all around sarcastic and fun loving person. I'm going to school to be a nurse. I recently quit a high paying job from home to get back into the hospital setting and to get my feet wet in nursing. I work on the Maternal Child Unit which includes the birthing center, perinatal care and Pediatrics. I LOVE IT! These last few years have been all about changes in my life. Although they have required great sacrifice, I know it will be worth it when I'm through. I have a great life and great family and friends and occasionally bitch about my white trash neighbors. Mostly here you will find rants and raves about various people, places, and circumstances. ENJOY! Loves: Nursing, chocolate, my daughter, family and friends, diet coke, Grey's Anatomy (DUH!), being out of my front patio in the summertime with my neighbors, babies, US Weekly magazine, reality TV, being smart and being a mother. Hates: Chemistry, online cyberstalkers who have no life but to be online 24/7 causing drama, my white trash neighbors, pepporoni pizza, mice, bugs, when it's too hot outside and I get sweaty, seafood, backstabbing people, liars, crooks, and when people play the "victim" and whine 24/7.
