Im still depressed about being here but i did have a very good day last wednesday.

I finally got a shift on a brain injury unit, and it just so happened to be the unit i had orientated on so i had an idea of what goes on and who the patients are. I love the brain injury units because it is more of a general hospital setting with call bells and all that jazz. It was a much needed break from the depressing geriatric units where you wish you can just end the suffering yourself. Anyways it was so good be there, patients who i haven't seen since october have improved greatly. Many were walking again! They really have some amazing tools and people in the hospital. It was nice to work with people more my age, i felt i had more i can relate to with them. The nurses were so kind as well, answering all my questions and giving me so much info on the patients treatment plans and how their medications work. Some things are sad though. There is one boy who is beyond being able to walk again and his dad is so delusional saying things like how he will go back to work again..ect ect.. i guess i dont have much to say but i loved it. i feel good about nursing again. I work another brian injury unit this weekend and it should be magnificent.
