I'm feeling really bad about something too. I came home this morning and cats are sitting by the back door howling because they wanted to go outside so I let them. It's cool out I figured I'd sit out there and eat and let the cats wander around and eat grass and puke. We had been out there for about 5 minutes when they noticed a baby bird sitting in the grass. There wasn't even a second of "hmm, what's this?" No, it was an instant pounce, must catch it and immobilize it. Oops. Of course I ended up touching it getting it away from Luna and it has a broken wing. I think it may have broke it's wing in the fall from the nest which is quite high up the palm tree I think and Luna didn't have it that long. But I'm pretty sure that bird isn't going to make it. And it's just one of hundreds of thousands of birds but I still feel bad for it. I still feel that need to put it in a box and try to save it like I've done many times before. I left it out there but I feel so bad for it.

So Happy
To be leaving this hellish job. Looks like I will have 2 more nights and will be going to short stay on Monday. I was informed last night by one of the charge nurses (really not her decision) that I would no longer be needed after Saturday. Ok then. Of course she told new trainie (who has worked recovery for the last 3 months) that his job would be different than mine since he had critical care experience and that he'd be expected to be helping them out in PACU also. Then there was the surgery charge nurse telling him something different. I'm sure the house supervisor has an idea too. Sooooooo freaking glad to be leaving!!

Glad to hear the time in the hell job is so short.
And, ask around and see if there is an animal/bird rescue group. Believe it or not, they are pretty common.
I always feel so bad for hurt animals.
YAY I am so happy you will be leaving there soon too!
YAY! Glad to hear it!=)
Yay for the new job!!!
So sorry about the poor bird :(
awww ... sorry about the bird. Good luck with the job.
My kitty chased a bunch of baby birds around and was never able to catch one - I don't think she was really trying. She was just sort of playing tag with them, not even touching them. I was nervous until I saw she was mostly just watching them. Luckily, no broken wings.
This is somewhat off topic, but I was wondering your opinion of CA IVF in general? Did you do both of your IVFs there? What do you think about their system of getting everyone on the same schedule? I'm getting a little nervous about my chances of success there, but I don't have a lot of other options.
Yay!!!!!!
[and sad about the bird]
Ah, poor little birdie...but lucky you to be 2 nights away from that shit job. Good riddance!
I'm glad you are one your way out of that department - it sounds so dysfunctional.
I'm so sorry about the baby bird - I know my heart breaks for every bird/animal/rodent my cats bring in. I know it's nature but it still makes me sad.
I did have to laugh when I read your comment about the cats going outside so they could eat grass then puke. When I see my cats outside eating grass, I always tell them, "Good boy! Eat lots of grass so you can go inside and throw it up on the carpet!"
Poor birdie. :( Hurt animals always make me sad.
Yay you're done with the job!
