And Nurse’s Week bled into Hospital Week which was the same week as the Magnet Site visit for my hospital system.
Being involved as I am in leadership, and Shared Governance, and all around yes-woman, I worked a lot. And when I say a lot, I mean it.
I squired around my hospital’s Magnet appraiser for two days, plus worked my usual shift. As I do.
One day of just my shift.
Two more days of Magnet meetings.
Plus my shift.
Is it any wonder I left on pager at 2100 on Friday night?
Of course I was on call the weekend.
Of course.
And did another 12 hour day and 6 hour day.
I’ve been work hungover all week.
Naps and sleeping late.
Ignoring my work email.
I deserve it.
