More work and training

Tuesday 30th July didn't sleep the best woke up during the night then 7ish and eventually got up just after 8. Off to gym at 10am to meet BJ to see ifbcan help with my arch foot pain as still sore but at least slightly better than yesterday. Be manage to help with as had me rolling a ball under the foot like a massage and did seem to ease the tension. Straight to target after to find a ball couldn't find at first then eventually found one for only $2 tried when home and seemed ok. Chilled for abit before work and thought best wear my trainers for work since my foot still slightly sore. I ended up getting moved to Emergency Department ED and abit unsure as never worked in ED before. Someone showed me round and supposed to have the acute beds but changed me to the easy side so felt more comfortable. Ended up having only 4 beds and 2 had low blood pressure was told main thing to remember is do obs every hour. Also when first come in get them in a hospital gown and do ECG the most difficult part is knowing which Drs are looking after your patients. Prescilla the nurse manager phoned me in ED and told me cant apply tor jobs as visa only for Concord hospital  which didnt believe. Didn't go for first break til 16.30 so ate my dinner ascwant sure if woukd get another one but I next one 19.30. Had patient come in about 21hrs fall from nursing home finished a few minutes early and Michelle gave me lift home even though on different wards. Once home I checked my visa and isn't only for Concord hospital is for all NSW health so can work anyway in NSW. Not tired when home so watched TV for abit and had some wine. Woke up 8ish go for run 10idh did 3.30 miles but still got calf pain even wearing old trainers but ran it all. Home go to Coles for a few things and on way to work stop at rental agent to sort out bond and rent for new flatmate but no-one there to speak to. At work only open to 18 patients and had 8 patients on my side was a nice shift but still got out after 10pm. Lam one of the new grads kindly gave me a lift as didn't want me walking home on my own in the dark. Not tired when so spoke to Debbie as not seen her for a few days then went to bed midnight. Woke up just before 8am went for run 9ish did 6.35 miles still got calf pain but it didn't seem as bad as usual. Once back go to Coles with Debbie as off away for a night and I got boost then go to rental agent. Luckily Teng there as wanted to sort out rent for new girl as wants to pay 3 months in advance so wanted to know if can do that said yes. At work still only open to 18 patients and sent 1 staff away but my side busy as I had 2 blood products and 2 chemo's on my side. Also I was working with Enrolled nurse so I was the only one that could do medications. So after tea got our staff back which was good as had 1 patient waiting to be moved since 15.30 and didn't go til 7ish. Once finished wide awake watch TV for abit but then I knew I had to go to bed so went 11ish. Then woke up 2ish and got up 6ish as at work and as soon as walk on ward had MET call not best start to shift. But still ended up taking one of our staff then at 8ish another MET call not one of our patients. But still had to go to see if needed any help but everything under control. Luckily our side not too bad but no bloods taken so Edna did whilst I did meds and obs, so finished on time. Home chill and Debbie got home as been away for night to Port Stephens with sone of the work colleagues. Had gone on trip with quad bikes which fell off so ended up in ED as needed stitches to her elbow also had a few cuts and bruises. So went to pharmacy with her as very sore so need pain relief and new dressing also walking like a geriatric. Ordered take-away pizaa was going to go to cinema but never actually happened fell asleep on sofa and bed just 12.
