So it looks like I will be here the whole shift from what I can tell. But census is low for having 3 techs, so it makes for an easier night. My patients are all awesome, so I am not too upset about being here the whole time. I had to explain to a patient why it was important for her to order dinner so the nurse could give her certain medications. When I walked out, the nurse called for me and said she over heard me. I thought, "shoot....I went too much in nurse mode, and she is pissed at me for saying something wrong!!". But she actually complemented me, and told me I was really good with the patient. That made me feel good. You don't get a lot of appreciation, or even acknowledged at all sometimes by the nurses....so I was happy someone thought I was doing well and cared enough to tell me so.
I'm just finishing up my break, and trying to stay away from the cake that the family a patient I cared for brought to the unit as a thank you. :)
