It was a crazy night and I feel like I left things a mess. I worked really hard all night long and it just seems like I left things kinda crappy for the day shift. The disoriented lady who wouldn't stay in bad and had no clue what you were saying to her when you tried to talk to her is finally sleeping, but it might just be because I gave her lots of Ativan. She could sleep all day... then be up all night for me again. The lady with hypertension swore she was feeling better and was no longer short of breath, but that could just be because she desperately didn't want me to call the Doctor for fear she would be on his "bad side" for having been woken up because of her. I had a little talk with her and she promised me she was okay and so I believed her. I just don't want everything to be sucky because of me all day long. I hope all is well and they have a good day. I have three more nights to go. They have to be better than this one was. I only have so much patience.
And by the way, the word is, our little non-profit hospital has been sold to some Catholic hospital. Hmm....
Also, the hospital gave everyone $20 to Von's in our Christmas cards. None shall go hungry.

Is it Catholic Healthcare West, by chance, that purchased your hospital? They’ve been buying up hospitals right and left in these parts.
Also, if it’s a Catholic hospital does that mean they will be renamed like Our Lady of The Central Coast and not provide contraception to the patients?

I think that’s who it is. I don’t know if they will change our name. They’ve had lots of different owners through the years and the name has always been the same. I wonder if they will make their employees stop using contraception. I wonder if we will have tp pldge allegiance to the pope to keep our jobs.
