What a Difference a Day Makes...
Last night was my first shift back after my holiday in Italy with the girls. It was in a word TORTURE! I felt like a newly qualified member of staff. I had 3 majorly ill men and 1 who needed to have been in surgery yesterday. He was my main problem, as well as the fact that I was very nevous.
I got to finally go home after more than 12hours on the ward and what's the thing that playing on my mind so much so that I have to ring the ward and enquire like a concerned relative? My patient off course!! I needed to know if he was ok, only then did I sleep for a few hours. The first thing that came to mind was him too when I woke but I managed to restrain myself and didn't ring the ward. How do people manage to detach themselves from work and other things when they get home?
I need tips on how to do this otherwise I will end up an exhausted 25 year old who could pass for 50!
Anyways the point is (there is a point after all) that I walked on to the ward realy worried and thinking of ways that I could maybe get out of work when I realise the staff were SAT DOWN. They were SAT DOWN. I needed to repeat that just incase the wonderfull meaning of this got lost. This meant that the place was not hectic and no one was dying (that they knew of anyway).
The calmness of the ward was confirmed to me during handover. My patient had finally had his op and was doing well - he was even eating and chatting way.
SubhanaAllah. How can things change in such a short span of time? I love that in this job you never know what your going to walk into. It's basically life isn't it? Yes it is so I should chill and stop complaining.
Sorry to GYW for chewing your ear off this evening.

Another great post! Just thinking if anybody has any any links or screenshots of excellent Email templates used?
It's always good to see templates, one other thing see examples to benchmark as good communication. Would be desperate to see any links.
