Sup Peeps!

Ok, so I don't know if anyone is reading my blogs, but I'm going at it anyways and here is what has happened lately.
On Thursday I got called in to go into work early because there weren't enough night shift nurses and they needed to move a patient out of the intensive care to our unit for another emergency coming in, anywho....I was at work at 4:50 am (when I'm supposed to be there at 7am). I admitted a patient that from the beginning I knew there was something more wrong with him that it was believed by the doctors or people in general i guess, needless is to say, the day was extremely busy, crazy busy, like the kinda of day that doesn't even give you time to go to the bathroom or anything. And to top things up, this dude that I admitted all of the sudden stops breathing, thanks goodness I was in the room when it happened with a respiratory therapist because we were trying to figure out how to give him more oxygen...and he just stops, just like that, out of the blue, stops breathing, so we coded him and took him to the unit and then get back from that and find out I have a rapid response patient coming from the floor on bipap and with respiratory issues like the one I had just coded. So we get that guy settled and boom...get a vascular surgery patient that when we move him from the stretcher to the bed we noticed he has a huge hematoma in his leg, meaning he is bleeding from his incision, so call the doctor STAT and yes, the patient had to go back to emergency surgery, yeap....fun day, didn't get out off work until 8pm....15hrs of intense work, that I wouldn't be able to survive if it wasn't for my coworkers that help with everything so much, and for the fact that i actually love adrenaline filled days like this....of course, it's not like I want it every day I work, slow days can be fun when spent with friends at work.
The weekend was uneventful, except that we went bowling on saturday, to the cosmic thingy that you can play from 11pm-2am, so yeah we played a lot and got to look at cute guys and listen to some songs that were old as heck....hahaha, it was fun!
