Retiring Again

by jeff on Mar.02, 2010, under Site News

I sense that my nursing days are nearing an end. Kevin is starting to become annoyed when I wake him to take his temperature, blood pressure, and give him his pills and something to eat. I try to take Carrie’s temperature without waking her but it’s almost impossible so now she is getting frustrated too. Tomorrow I will try it orally and see if it makes any difference. I see now why you don’t have the same nurse day after day in the hospital as you will begin to take them for granted, no matter what a great job they do. There are other subtle signs too, such as comments like “Get out of here and leave me alone!” and “Why don’t you go visit your brother for a month or so?” Has it only been three weeks since I was so popular and in demand? Yes, but what an incredible three weeks this has been. Thank God for my nursing career being so short.
