Last week was rough

Last week was rough.

My boss added it up for me:

One nurse left.

One of the travelers left.

The other traveler was not suited to our fast-paced OR and left.

One nurse was out on FMLA.

Two nurses were on vacation.

SIX nurses down, out of 16 is a lot of man hours that need to be covered.

And last week was uncommonly busy.

I added 4 cases a night.

Plus the three or so that came in during the day.

All the hours were worked.

Oof, no wonder I napped all the naps today.
