Wow, today was something.
I went in after a desperate call from the charge nurse last night, on my day off. Every nurse was swamped, dealing with too much pressure, too many patients, just too much...
From intubated craniotomy patients to folks with no urge to urinate (but retaining a thousand milliliters of urine), my patients have been desperate, needy, painful, confused, and complicated.
Just another day in the PACU. Thank God for knowledge and skills, peer support, standing orders, and deep breathing.
