I think I must have offended them (or somebody) because they were on me like white on rice this past weekend with 5 admissions, 12-14 patients any given day with one on the ventilator and 2 on BIPAP. Then there was the midnight crash and burn one of them did on Saturday or early Sunday. Of course, the call gods were aided and abetted by the nursing home, who tormented me with calls about one thing or another literally every 4 hours all. weekend. long. Aiee! Do you happen to know if there are any sacrifices that appease the call gods? (Maybe sacrifice a hospital administrator-please?)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31146535.post-67857661619224428732009-11-30T22:23:29.893-05:002009-11-30T22:23:29.893-05:00LOL I can't help but laugh at this one..

I can only imagine how careful you must be with what you say!<br /><br />I'd relate it to saying the same thing at school, somewhere along the lines of "Today has been great! My classes have all been so focused and quiet!" to just turn around and have your last period turn into little spawns. <br /><br />Don't mess with the balance! ;)Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05952500756645034418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31146535.post-39391040981155993242009-11-30T22:02:07.771-05:002009-11-30T22:02:07.771-05:00OMGosh.

I just showered and flat ironed my hair because if I lay around in my pj's and enjoy my family and comforts of home just a bit too much... than BAM! I'll be hit and hit hard. Being in full work attire with perfect hair and makeup will ensure that I will sit at home with no phone call. <br /><br />And seeings how I already delivered a multip nearly ten pound shoulder dystocia over Thanksgiving... with thick msf... and I'm only an RN... I think the call gods better be good to me tonight. I deserve it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
