The Worst Day Ever

So I show up to work, kind of dragging, but thankful I didn't have an orientee that day, and I could just do my job and not have to expend a huge amt of extra energy since I had been doing this for the last 4 weeks and working a ton of OT. Well to my surprise I had an orientee. Brand-spankin new too. Which is fine but a lot of work for me. I also got stuck with a horrible assignment . I will spare the details, but when I say horrible I don't mean really sick and busy- thats fun, what I mean is.....well, it's not always just the patients, i'll just say that. I will move on. Anyway, it was a bad day. My orientee informed me that the next day she would not be with me but would return the following two. I was relieved, and it wasnt a personal thing. So that day stunk. But the next day was "the worst day ever". Again I can't discuss the details, but my friend and charge RN walks up to me around 10AM and asks if I'm okay since it was very apparent I was not, and it was one of those moments where I couldn't speak or do anything, or else I would have a complete meltdown right on the unit. So, I nod my head no, and quickly walk into the employee locker room and just start balling and having a complete melt down. My charge followed me in, and of course minutes later my supervisor walks in on it and also attempts to calm me down. It was so bad that my superviser suggested I think about going home and my co-worker said if I stayed she would switch one of my patients with me. The bad part was I actually said I would take my co-worker up on the offer. The drama slowly fizzeled as the day went on, and I left feeling kinda okay, but super "burnt-out" a commonly used nursing term that I finally have a first hand experience with. The next two days they switched my orientee to be with someone else and reassigned me new patients. My 2 week vacation this weekend couldn't have started any sonner! However, because Adam knew I was having the worst day ever he cleaned the whole house for me AND made me dinner after he got of work. :)
