back with a bang

well, i've been back in the US of A for a bit less than two weeks.  i've already worked five 12 hour shifts.  and let me tell you, there's no easing in to nursing.  nope.  i'm back with a bang.

first day back at work:  my somewhat confused 62 year old man moaned all day long, "i'm dying, my heart is dying..."

second day back at work:  i answer an emergency light.  a 32 year old lady is having a seizure.  three minutes later, she codes.  mayhem ensues.  dozens of people storm her room.  there is blood everywhere.  she dies.

third day back at work:  same patient from first day begs me to kill him.

nothing like a light-hearted job!
