Good Morning!!
Hello all! I've missed everyone terribly and will catch up on all the posts later...but just wanted to let everyone know that I am back from Playcation and back to the grindstone 
....... I really have been spoiled the past couple of days and could REALLY get used to being treated like a Princess!!! I will give you all the details later, but long story made short.....I married the sweetest, kindest, most loving and caring person on the face of the earth (or at least the best possible person FOR ME) and have no doubt that I must have done SOMETHING right at least once in my life to deserve such happiness 
I've got some major work issues coming up this week and need all the good thoughts I can get. Love you all and will catch up with you later!!

Kim,
Welcome Back to reality! 
. It would be so nice to just run away sometimes, wouldnt it. Best of luck on the work thingy, this week. Post when you have time. It certainly is becoming a rare commodity for me these days. I am just tired. We have had at least 4 call in's this week, which makes me have to do the work of 2 people instead of just my work. Ive had between 60 and 65 patients to care for since Monday, normally I only have 28 to 34 patients a night. I hope all these folks calling in "just because" get real and come on in to work today. I could use a break!
My job screwed up letting anyone get on family medical leave for ANY medical problem ( high blood pressure, seizures, chronic conditions, NOT just for surgery). They allow their doctor to check "intermittant" on the FML form, which means they can have it for up to one year, call in as much as they want too, and nothing can be done about it. I dont have a problem IF the need is there. I DO have a problem with those that are abusing this,( 96% are abusing this, maybe one person really has the medical need) and then come back to work, laughing about how they were able to take a week off using FML and nothing was wrong with them. THAT upsets me. It makes my job harder when I have to do their job too. OKAY, off the soapbox for now, going to shower for work and praying for a better day for us all.
Love,
Sandy 
Hi Beth!
Trust me, you are much better off NOT working for the state! I do work for Bryce Hospital, and if you did clinicals there you have an idea of how a ward is set up ( in the new building) I work on Admissions, never a dull moment but it isnt worth what I have to do and what they pay me. They now pay RN's 35.00 an hour for contract nursing, with no benefits. Doing meds for 2 wards is ROUGH, and you just have to hope and pray a code green (fighting) isnt called while your on another ward. It gets harrowing sometimes.
The no showers, showed up so it was a quiet night, just 4 more to get through until I get ONE whole day off. Ive just about had my fill of psych nursing. It does get next to you after 11 years It REALLY gets scary when you see former co workers come through as patients. I hope I can leave it before it drives me insane. It is very interesting tho, if only crack addicts could see a drug induced psychosis that will never be cured, it would STOP the drug problem, big time. Hope your night is going better!
Love,
Sandy

Sandy I LOVE mexican too! I hardly ever get down to Pelham, so you pick the place and ya'll just let me know! I don't anticipate any problems getting away from the office and look forward to meeting ya'll too 
It feels so good to finally be actually meeting some of you!!
I love living in Springville.....don't really like the drive to Hoover everyday but it is worth it to go home to the country every night. I've only been there about 2 years but do love it and it feels like HOME.
