<Hospital> is still consolidating and making cuts. The CEO of <home location> was let go yesterday. I kinda feel bad for her. She hadn't even had the job a year. We kinda feel like the Big Bosses put her in to make cuts and then cut her loose. There are also rumors that some of <Hospital's> satellite locations, including <home location>, might be sold to <other big hospital>. Boss says these rumors are false, but I doubt coorperate would tell anyone otherwise.
Which brings me to my uber fun filled Thursday. New CEO was making the rounds. Which is fine. Except when he made it to Cardiology, we weren't doing anything. Thursday Cardiologist had the day off and apparently forgot to tell us Wednesday Cardiologist was filling in. TC gets here around 8:30am, WC hits around 9:30am. On top of the schedule change, WC was at <downtown location>, which was short staffed and slammed. The poor patient was waiting over an hour for his stress test. And New CEO wandered into our department while we were sitting on our hands doing nothing. Grrr.
Thanks to that little snaffu, my whole day ran late and for the life of me I could not get caught up. I had hoped my day would ease up since one of my cardiac patients didn't show, but no dice. And I had to do a procedure I hadn't done since I was in school and hadn't done here at <home location>. Even better, I had trouble finding <Hospital's> protocol on the intranet, and I didn't realize the scan would take 45 minutes instead of 30 (there's another version of the scan that only takes 30 minutes, which I've done before).
I'm seriously ready to go back to my one or two days a week. This working five days sucks. And I miss my hubby. Mr Jedi's had something to do every night after work this week and we've pretty much only seen each other right before bed.
I love my job. I really do.
