Fucking Friday!

I hate working on Friday! I mean really now! I am on call all week and I had to go way out of town yesterday evening for an admit visit with wounds and IVs and the whole mess took me from 5:20 pm to after 9pm! I was exhausted and so was the client. I am so ready for this call to be over but now I have the weekend to look forward to. The title on call nurse is really a misnomer.It is really just mandatory work for the weekend because instead of just being on call and handling the on call problems they load her up with visits so that not only are you out all day seeing patients but you get to be constantly interrupted by the phone calls which are usually pain in the ass calls like where is my nurse or who is coming out to see me today! I am so ready for my vacation! Today has been so busy and the rest of the week I have been in here has been boring. I tried to get the scheduler to say she needed me in the field today but she said no, we were too busy in the office. One of the other nurses was in here yesterday with her hand loosely wrapped up in an ace wrap. She says she broke her hand and cannot work for 1 month. She fell on the job. Whatever. I watched her eat and write with the very same hand and she did great. I asked her why she didn't have it casted and she said as long as she keeps it immobile she does not need one??It is not immobile! I think she is trying to scam workman's comp and or short term disability. She says she can't work because she cannot lift anything iover 15 lbs. What? See, she has a grandbaby who must weigh less than that. I mean, really now what do we lift anyway? I have 2 torn biceps and can't go up and down stairs but they keep me pretty busy anyways. Ok enough of the bitching I gotta get back to work!
