It's definitely a full moon.

I'm beginning to dread the full moon.

I've had a very long day at work.

From macho ambulance drivers being outright rude

To an ER nurse being even more rude

To being yelled at by a patient's daughter

Because she's sure her 97 year old mother with dementia who doesn't know more than her name is a better judge of the facts than the staff.

I know there must be dynamics there, and the daughter must have issues.

I can't deal with her issues just now.

I just feel like crying.

Being a nurse can really suck.

I don't like being in the line of fire.

I don't like having CNA's who can't even tell me if a patient got a dinner tray or not.

This day really sucked.

Thanks for letting me vent.

Hugs and encouraging words now being accepted. .....

I think I'll go cry now and go to bed.

When you have a bad day like that, think back to a "good" day, the kind of day that makes you glad you're a nurse. Then remember that kind of good day will come around again:) blessings, Gerrie

What I think of is, "we will never pass this way again." :sunny:

No two days are exactly alike. :)

You never step in the same river twice. :wave:

And today my manager will be there, so I can just let her deal with it. :lol:

Venting is always OK. There are days like this. Your comment above about never stepping in the same river twice? It does apply to these experiences well. Today will be a better day! :sunny:

I LOVE nurses!! You are a very special person :love:.

Full moons are definitely weird times.

We'll be in Laguna on the 13th and 14th...don't have any specific plans excepts for just relaxing and attending the Sawdust. Hopefully we can meet....:wave:

It's good to vent, especially on a full moon.

I'll tell you what to do....

Tonight. When it's really dark and all is asleep. Go outside. See the moon? Good.
Now, just give it a good hearty

GO TO HELL YOU STUPID MOON!!!!!

and feel better about it. What makes things really bad is predominately what's just in our mind anyway rather than tangibles, so we might as well tell'em to scram.

Oh heck, I think you could just have fun doing it anyways. :)

But this shall pass. So hugs away! :)

It's a new day now. I am sure God planned it that way, just for us. And you know that:)
