What a day.......

Totally busy and crazy day in ICU. It just had the strangest vibe all day, like it was full moon time and all the wacky came out. It was the entire unit, not just one or two patients..we weren't full, but just about all the patients were really sick. There were three deaths, one code blue, three admissions, a couple of patients with big gastrointestinal bleeds, patients going down to Radiology for scans, and a percutaneous tracheostomy for my patient. Everyone was busy, and the whole day was kind of frantic. It was one of my co-worker's very first day on his own in ICU after his critical care course, and what a way to start off...but he did great.

I'm tired out, my shoulder hurts, and I'm ready for a day off. Going to sleep in tomorrow.
