The nurse I worked with today, Touissant, asked me earlier in the day if I knew Spanish and I told her 'just a little.' As the day was winding down we were both getting tired and all the IV misses were getting to us. I looked at her and in my best Spanish said 'no mas' which means 'no more!'. We both just started cracking up and thankfully there were no more! Tomorrow can only be better right?

Is it over yet?
Well I felt every one of my 12 hours today! When we arrived at the clinic today, there was already an infant with an IO in place who was looking pretty bad. While trying to bolus the baby the IO went bad. That started the decline for the whole day. I lost count of how many times we attempted IV sites. Eventually we got a scalp site. Another great reminder on why Peds Is not my nursing of choice! The difficult Peds cases just kept rolling in. We even attempted a couple of jugular sites too. By the end of the day we had most every body looking a little better but it was going to be a slow process to get them to looking great.
