so flipping tired!!
Today i did actually start crying on the ward. I had a really difficult patient, i was so tired, and feeling shakey anyway. The nurses were lovely though, and i started to sort out the patient, and then i got a boost bar and a pro plus. I then felt much better.
The rest of the night has been busy but manageable. The same patient from earlier got quite sick, and a haemolysed potassium was high, so i did an ECG, i thought it showed signs of hyperkalaemia (high potassium) so repeated the sample and it was high, i was right, i correctly identified ECG changes. Rather pleased with myself about that.
Why i'm so tired.....soem fucker phoned my internal phone this morning and woke me. I was not best pleased when they asked for ann someone or other, so i said this is not her room, and i'm on nights and was asleep, i then slammed the phone down! Oh well, i was tired! Then the cleaners disturbed me. They had it down my room was empty, but of course it wasn't. Then went into dorch and wondered around before coming for the joys of work.
I shouldn't be so sarcastic about it, i do enjoy it really. Its just taking the good with the bad. Like managing to get a canula into an iv drug user with no veins was a good, patient on alcohol detox being agressive a bad.
I'll get by though. Really looking forward to the end of the month and my first pay cheque, and to seeing adam at the weekend.
Anyway, i finish in 8 minutes so time for me to go.
