Three new patients.
All arriving within the same hour.
Admissions suck. They take forever, and you have to get doctors to call you. And you generally have to spend a lot of time you don't really have getting the person settled in. Fortunatley, I managed to get the day shift manager to do one and my supervisor to do one, thus leaving one for me. It was still a pain in the butt. I did end up having to write out two sets of admission orders and med records.
There were come good parts. I actually got to take a break today unlike two other days this week. Paul, the cute pharmacist was reviewing charts while I was filling out paper work for the new admissions. Paul comes about once a month, usually on day shift. He's very pretty. I really look forward to his visits.
There was more good news. The 44 year old, 280lb, retarded quadraplegic with the tracheostomy, the feeding tube, and a nasty infection of resistant staph was admitte to the hospital. I was positively giddy. Though I did get a call from his doctor around 9:30pm wanting to know how he was doing. Apparently the hospital had negelcted to inform the man's DOCTOR that he was admitted to their facility. I'm forced to wonder how they were able to do anything for him without getting orders from his physician. Whatever.
