How you do not want your day to go

Ok, so the day isn't over yet! How you do NOT want your day to go.

1. Arrive at work at 9:30. At 9:40, have someone call a code 99 (cardiac arrest) on YOUR unit!
2. Find out that all your heart catheterization patients that have already been waiting a couple of hours for their turn will be waiting until around lunchtime because the computer module in the cath lab is on the fritz. That means that all of them will be with you ALL DAY LONG!
3. Have an emergency case go to the OR, pre-empting all the scheduled cases and putting them hours behind, so that you are just getting the first of the surgical patients back when they should be just about ready to go home.
4. Have a patient returned to your unit, with dismissal orders filled out; then finding out from an angry Dr. that this patient is NOT going home today, and what is she doing on YOUR unit anyway? (Because he filled out the wrong set of orders? Yeah, that would be why.)
5. Be scrambling and running trying to get said patient comfortable, so when it is time to go home, not a scrap of charting has been done.
6. Stay an extra two hours getting caught up, thus missing a (by now very much needed) Bible study.
7. Coming home and trying to post all this mess, and hitting "enter" after you type in the title, thus posting a nothing note. (That's why the first comment about the day not being over yet.)

Well, I am home now, and feeling much better. I surely hope tomorrow is a better day. Good night.
