Worried

Sometimes I worry about being sued.

About being stuck with a dirty needle.

Being hit by a crazy drunk.

That's in order of least likely to happen to most likely to happen.

Six Months

This morning the manager comes to me during report and tells me she has a paper for me to sign in her office before I go home.

It was my permanent employment papers.  Like what I've been doing for the last six months was provisional employment.

So, yeah, I get to keep my job. =)

Totally didn't realized that until this morning when I signed the paper.

She said I didn't act like a new nurse.

"What does that mean?"
"It's a complement."
"Thanks!"

Six months.  Wow.

That Makes Three

I kissed another patient last night.

That makes 3 patient now I think.

I'm going to get a reputation doing things like that.
