I Actually Worked!

But it was kind of a shitty night. Much busier than usual which I guess I shouldn't complain about since my nights usually go pretty well. Just busy, 2 really confused patients (one had tarzan in her room trying to kill her, and yes I turned the TV off). Blood to give, one really anxious guy, bitchy nurses aide. All added up to a busy night. I had thought I would volunteer to go in tonight but changed my mind by morning. I did stop by the staffing office before I left and spoke to my supervisor and it looks like I will be staying here for another 3 months. They said they definitely want to keep me. That's a nice feeling. Now I need to get on setting up an appointment with an RE so I can at least get started. I'm excited to be staying here. I like it here. I work again tomorrow (Wed) night and then 2 more nights off. Works for me. Not much else going on. In answer to a couple of questions: Tammy, I don't really know what part of Mn my sister lives in. I think it's close to Minneapolis but not sure. And as far as my FSH, my lab results for that are now a little over a year old. I think it was 8.8 last Feb. so I'm not really sure. I figure the CCT can't hurt though at this point.

Glad to hear you will be able to get settled for a few months and find a new RE.
It sounds like where you are working now is a pretty decent place (despite the Tarzan lady). I am still loving that they paid you not to work last week!

I've been hearing patient horror stories from my venipuncture teacher already :| ... UG! Tarzan? Freaky...

I'm glad you get to settle in somewhere you enjoy! Now- Go find a good RE :)

Is it bad if I giggled at the Tarzan thing? Cuz I did. Still am, a little.

Congrats on the extended offer! It's always nice to be wanted, especially by a place that calls and tells you to take the day off. Enjoy!

Woo hoo on being appreciated! Congrats!

And jump on in! TTC still sucks, but I've heard there is a prize if we keep trying. At least an effing gold star or something!

LOL...I've never had anyone hallucinate Tarzan- the most interesting one I had saw a snake on the ceiling, and then ripped out her IV thinking it was attacking her.

Of course, I'm not counting the years I did psych outreach.

Are you enjoying your days off?

Post some more pics! I loved the whale ones you have. Pretty cool I went on that boat tour also but we didn't see any whales. Did they blast "Margaritaville" on the speakers when you returned to the dock? Every time I hear that song I think of my SB boat ride...

Confused patients always make for a busy night! Don't you hate it when you have to work with bitchy help? I'm glad at least the unknown of where you'll be working for the next three months is solved!
