Nights and online shopping

So first night tonight Monday 18th march and first off four nights, told had to change wards again. This time I had to go to 6 North orthopaedic which I don't like at the best times as out of my comfort zone and had 12 patients. I also had a PCA machine which I am not used to and never seen no many bedpans as most patients using overnight. Early on morning had a patient with temperature 38.5 trying to tell him to take blankets but doesn't understand as non English speaking. Only thing was that I finished slightly earlier at 7.15 had arranged to go for run with Debbie but too tired so shower then bed. Woke up at 12 for toilet then back to sleep til 2 once up relaxed for abit, before sorting out what uniform to send back. Then thought might aswell go to Rhodes to post the uniform luckily post office not too busy and got a few groceries whilst there. When got home Jen round visiting Bianca but all I wanted to do was chill for abit before work, which is what I did. Tuesday night someone had to move wards again but luckily not my turn this time as I have moved the last two shifts. Only open to 24 patients and we weren't full I had 7 patients and were nice only thing I had was someone had low blood sugar so gave honey and soon came up. We also had a MET call but was not my patient and only did MET call as patient had a reaction to a IV infusion,but ended up having abit later at slower rate and after having anti-histamines.
When got home supposed to go for a run but my throat felt dry and sore so thought not best idea to go for a run. It took abit for me to get to sleep as kept coughing and made sure had a good drink before going to bed as thought throat might be dry due to dehydration. I then woke up and I thought I had been asleep for ages but turned out it was only 9am so not even asleep a hour. But luckily got back to sleep til 12 when woke up for toilet and then back to sleep til 2 when I eventually got up. Chilled for most of day as supposed to be meeting Dan, (the lad I met at establishment) later on at Olympic park for catch up as down from Canberra for Bruce Springsteen concert. Whilst waiting to find out what time he would arrive my other board shorts arrived and Bianca arrived home early as not feeling well, so work sent her home. Didn't end up meeting Dan as he was late leaving Canberra and got struck in traffic so wouldn't be another time before his concert. Dan couldn't apologise enough about not been able to meet but not worth it for a hour and rushing, will just meet next time he is in Sydney. Instead I watched My Kitchen Rules (MKR) with Bianca which was sudden death of two teams and glad that the team went out. Then to work and I had the same patients plus an extra one so had 8 patients and was ok. But was so tired at about 3ish and actually slept on break but didn't want to get up, but obvisiously I did as work to do. One of the staff was very as had patient who had high blood pressure whilst having a blood transfusion then low after, so helped the staff in morning.
When got home couldn't get to sleep as still coughing abit but determined to stay in bed as long as possible as surf camp at weekend. I woke up a few times but didn't want to get up as wanted a good sleep, so got up at 4pm. When got up Jen and Bianca downstairs watching DVD as Bianca still not feeling 100% so phoned in sick for her night shift tonight. Even though my throat still felt dry and sore thought best still go to work and got throat smoothers which will hopefully help. Also so glad that my final night but open to 30 patients but one person off sick, so at least no-one had to move wards and good job I didn't phone in sick. So had 10 patients each and got an extra staff who just floated who was very helpful did all the observations for me in morning. Before left went to toilet bad idea and somehow I managed to drop my phone down the toilet but at least on a good note toilet was clean. I suppose thats what you get for playing with your phone on the toilet when tired but at least phone seemed ok afterwards. Went to Coles after work to get a few nibbles for our journey later on to surf camp and realised once home phoning not ringing so put in a pan of rice to soak up the moisture.
