Work the last 3 nights has been really rough. My floor is piloting our new electronic medication record and I'm not convinced it's a good change. For decreasing potential errors, it's great. It's also great for making nurse's lives a living h***. There are so many bugs in the system it's sad. And unfortunatley I can see where it's making the chance of some med errors greater than before. Needless to say, it's been pretty stressful. Last night for the first time I actually was SO overwhelmed that I almost burst out in tears. Thank heavens for my supervisor and supervisor in training that were there last night and helped me out a great deal. I actually managed to walk out of the hospital just after 8am instead of 9am like yesterday morning.
I was looking forward to having a few days off before going back Monday night, but thanks to a coworker needing to adjust her schedule, I now am enjoying not going back until Wednesday night! Anybody wanna play?!
