I guess part of being a real adult requires me to have a real job with hours that can seem a little un-godly.
and trust me, i know the meaning of bad hours but these ones top it off.
Lately i've been working the night shift (11 PM-7 AM) and all i can say is that its true when they say that "nothing good ever happens after 11".
Its true...people just get crazy at night, especially old people.
The typical night of a night shift worker where i work goes like this:
- get to work at 11
- answer call lights all night long
- do last rounds at 5 AM (which keeps you pretty busy)
- leave at 7 AM
Well the other night at work was no typical night. I experienced one of those "CRAZY NIGHTS".
One of those nights when really, nothing good happened after 11.
It went a little something like this:
- got to work at 11
- Went to answer a call light immediately after I clocked in
I walked into the Patients room.
"Can I help you?"- i ask
"I need to talk to Jon."- he says {'Jon' is the charge nurse}
"Ok, i'll get him for you". I start to walk out of the room...
"Tell him I need to.... that I need to stick something up my rectum!!!"
- I stopped dead in my tracks....lol....did i really just hear that? lol. really? Oh Gosh, i don't even want to know what that's about....From down the hall I hear a patient moaning as if he's in pain. I walk into his room to find him rolling on his bed.
"Sir can I help you with anything?"
he's still rolling in his bed.
"Yea!....ahhh my ass, my ass! ahhhhh i just need to S***! Give me something to make me S***!! AHHH!!!!" he yells
"Yea, ok, i'll get the nurse..."
Needless to say that patient got transferred to the hospital later that evening for extreme constipation.
- Last rounds at 5 AM
- Got called Crazy by a little old lady
- clocked out at 7 AM
