Storm clouds

I was in charge last night. We were well staffed, but things were, surprise, surprise, absolutely crazy.

We may have gotten a little bit of sun here in Seattle the past few weeks, but my charge nurse black cloud is going strong.

I was being second nurse for delivery when staffing called with a sick call for the day shift. Day shift was not well staffed. Also, surprise, surprise.

Suddenly this little vein on the top of my forehead started to throb. I'm trying to listen to baby and all I can concentrate is on the pulsing on my forehead. Baby sounds great, but I'm wondering if I'm about to stroke out.

Dude, those new grads need to get trained and fast.
