work last night was miserable. we were understaffed by one nurse which always makes for a fun evening. typically when we're short its not always horrible, tonight went against that statement. call lights were constantly going off making it difficult to accomplish anything in a timely manner. i had seven patients...thankfully one of them was discharged home to my liking. so the first hour of my evening was spent discharging this patient home and answering all of his family's questions. right after my discharge left my admission had arrived, great timing right? thankfully i only had six patients the rest of the evening. normally i have no problem with six or seven patients but last night was even more difficult because i had to learn to use the new computer system...sure i had a class on it a month ago...but i thankfully was able to navigate my way through most of it...the admission and discharge were both fun to try and navigate through. so after a busy evening i was charting when i was supposed to be leaving...thankfully i'm a quick typer and i only had to stay over fifteen to twenty minutes.
this is normally my saturday off but someone needed to switch and i agreed...although now i wish i hadn't...not much i can do about it now. my boyfriend and niece are going to a friend's house this evening, i think they'll have fun...i just wish i was joining them.
i'm going to go eat breakfast...
thats all for now...
