Super Sunday Roll Call
Awesome good morning everyone,
I just took Utley for a terrific walk by the river. I am getting ready for church. My plans include visiting my sponsor's place for a little while and making an AA meeting. Between those things I must continue organizing my apartment, as I return to the classroom tomorrow.
Huggles,
Trish

Seek always to do some good, somewhere. Every man has to seek in his own way to realize his true worth. You must give some time to your fellow man. For remember, you don't live in a world all your own. Your brothers are here too.

Good morning Trish - I almost posted last night when we got home from the Bat Mitzvah - but was too tired! What a wonderful day yesterday was! Was at the synagogue while my third graders ran the Shabbat morning service beautifully. I was sooo proud of them. they took it so seriously and were proud of themselves! Then the Bat Mitzvah last night was AMAZING to say the least. My girlfriend was strong and poised and was ablt to talk about her daughter with love and strength as she mentioned her deceased husband and his part if all of this! the party was AWESOME! I was amazed at what did NOT affect me, mainly the desserts - handmade chipwiches and mini homemade cupcakse. OY! But - they didn't really bother me and I was dancing the night away in a very tight size twelve black slinky dress! I got a million compliments and was loving EVERY minute of it!
Today we are headed to Hebrew school, because I haven't been to the synagogue enough this weekend...said with SEVER sarcasm! After hebrew shcool I amblowing off all out of town activities and coming home to rest. YAY ME!
I hope you all have a great Sunday all! Sadly, I have to go back to work again tomorrow - it seems that although Mother Nature is giving us a doosey of a storm, she forgot to turn the temperature down. Oh well, there is always Thursday! :)

Hi everyone,
Right now I'm thoroughly enjoying my Sunday morning ritual . . . drinking my hot caramel latte protein drink, sitting on-line, reading the Sunday paper, listening to country music. Ah, so relaxing.
Later we're doing grocery shopping then home to watch the race. I'm making a big pot of chili today, yum.
I'm still on restriction from the PS although I keep forgetting and pushing myself, so a day of hanging at the house if just perfect.
Have fun today everyone.

Morning Trish - good luck tomorrow. Probably wont' be posting until you are back with your lovely hormonal students!
Anyway....plans for the gym took a turn today. Thanks to me leaving work literally sobbing and with a migraine. It took four years - but I actually made a minor med error. NOTHING bad happened. NOTHING will happen to the patient...even the peds attending came down and talked to me and assured me everything is ok. But, it will end up in my file and I KNOW at some point management will have to "counsel" me on it. Perhaps the worst part of it is that it was simply a stupid stupid mistake. I wasn't overwhelmed, I even went back and called pharmacy to double check the doseage because I was unfamiliar with the med before I gave it...but still. "nobody's perfect" but hot damn it, unfortunately, the medical professionals are basically expected to be. I'm not sure what I'm more upset about - the error - or the possible consequences of the error, or the fact that it was me and ONLY me who made the mistake a reality.. I had a GREAT charge nurse last nigtht who actually let me take an extra 15 minute break to compose myself. It got me through the rest of the shift...but once I got in my car to leave...it all came back as I no longer had to hold it together.
I'm home now...getting ready for a hot shower, perhaps an adult beverage and bed where I plan to stay most of the day in order to decompress.
I have work in jersey tonight which means I don't have to wake up till 7...so I've got a damn good 10 hours of potential sleep time ahead of me.
Pack some food for work for tonight and i'm outta here for the evening. Good new, I'm only working 8 hours. Even better news I get to come home in the morning. Bad news? I was supposed to be off tonight and I agree to this last minute on Friday. Seemed like a GREAT idea at the time. Not so much now.
Anyway - thanks for the vent. Off to send an email out to a great nursing friend of mine and go to bed.

Instead of complaining that the rosebush has thorns, be happy that the thorn bush has roses. 
Pam, so sorry to hear of your rough night. It's hard to face mistakes like that. The guilt can get to us. I hope you get lots of rest, forgive yourself, and can have a good night at work last night.
I contemplated texting you last night. But didn't. Guess subconsciously, I knew to leave you alone.
Rest up and KNOW you are a great nurse!

When life hands you lemons, ask for tequila & salt and give me a call!
Pam,
Sometimes an event like this is a timely reminder from the universe that we need to recognize that we're only human. And that mistakes happen, and that the extra little "edge" that keeps us on our toes needs to be sharpened. Nothing bad happened, nothing came of it, and my guess is that your reaction to it will be far more "punishment" than anything meted out by anyone else. And that mistake will be a little reminder sitting on your shoulder for the NEXT 4 years (or 40 years) making sure that it doesn't happen again.
It's probably good that you're working tonight - get back on the horse and ride it, realizing that you're a great nurse - and that the fact that you CARE about such a minor mistake to the level you do is what makes you a great nurse.
HUGS.

Oh Pam,
I am sorry you had a bad evening and have this error to deal with now. God is totally in control, and will see you through this, as he has through your surgery, and your move to PA. Trust.
Hugs,
Trish

Seek always to do some good, somewhere. Every man has to seek in his own way to realize his true worth. You must give some time to your fellow man. For remember, you don't live in a world all your own. Your brothers are here too.
