Fourth Year
I survived my first night shift!!! And then two more consecutively!! Yayy! And to top it all off… without one drop of caffeine! No coffee, no cappuccino, no pop, all me baby. Yeah. The first night I wanted to die. My patient wasn’t very critical and it was a little boring, and by 4am I wanted to shoot myself. The second night was better, although quite exhausting. My patient was CRAZAZAY and we were really busy all night. Last night wasn’t too bad, same patient as the night before but a little more calm and we were more used to him. I haven't cried yet, which is good, both my patients were under 5 months of age. It is sad seeing kids in such critical conditions, and especially seeing how upset their parents are. But I guess we are there to help and have to realize that these things happen, and if they die then they aren't suffering anymore.
It has been raining like none other all weekend as well, which I guess was kinda good so I didn’t miss outon much, and working these 3 night shifts also prevented me from going out and drinking and spending money, so hooray for that! Now I plan on sleeping for the next 48 hours, goodnight.
