This past week was the week of the misfit patient. I have 2 patients who were on a 1:1 status meaning they had such bad dementia that they had to be supervised at all times. SO MUCH FUN!!! One of those 1:1 patients needed to be in isolation because of the flu. That one decided to pull out her IV not 1 but 2 times. and she was a bitter, scratcher, and spitter outer of any medications. I also had a bunch of patients who were just dead weight to move around and in turn killed my back and feet.
Putting aside the misfits this was my last week on orientation. I should have started my first day as an independent RN today but I was put on call!!! That's what I get for being a Newbie, o well I can now spend my day blogging and having coffee and a bagel at my new favorite place. It's Brewster's coffee and Big Apple bagels. When I first visited Brewster's I saw this display cooler with GINORMOUS mounds of something that was absolutely mesmerizing. I thought at first they had to be ice cream but NOOOOOOOOOOO, it was something much better, They were big mounds of homemade cream cheese!!! Amazing.
ANY WHO, hopefully I don't have to go to work today and I can just chill out drinking coffee and looking at huge mounds of cream cheese.
One can only dream right?!
