ek. I did four 12s in a row at SFMC. Friday I went to work with Adrienne. She and I left from St. Vincent's to the Thai consulate where I did manual blood pressures and she handed out referrals. Kat, who works a
t the consulate and is super cool gave us Thai take out, too! I went home after to get some errands done. I picked up Alli, Adrienne and Laura and we headed to Dockweiler beach. We met Jess, Jonathan and various friends and co-workers. Boyle Heights met us there later, too! We stayed until a few hours past sunset. We had a little fire, whic
h was enough to warm us, make s'mores and give all of our clothes that awesome bonfire smell.Saturday everybody but Jess and Jonathan went to Connor and Darby's (A couple of VSCs from last year) for a ¡Caballo de Mayo! Party. Caballo (Horse in Spanish) because it was the Kentucky Derby and de Mayo because it was just past Cinco de Mayo. Ann, an
other VSC from last year was also there and a handful of their friends. Ann was dressed like a Mexican Horse (She wore a piñata around!) It was a blast. Great food, drinks and e
ntertainment. We stayed there for about 9 hours. Alli, Adrienne & I went to Chico's just down the street when we got home for some dancing.I worked yesterday; it was an all right day. I covered a float LVN-she works on the 7th floor, but they had enough nurses and we needed more so she floated to our floor. She was awesome, but the report we got from night shift was one of the worst I had ever received in my life. The night nurse was registry, so I didn't recognize her. One of our patients, he was motorcycle versus tow-truck, was so thankful for the care he got in the first 3 hours. He said it made up for the terrible nights he's experienced thus far. Honestly, neither Lupe, the LVN, nor I did that much, so it was a bit distressing. Either way, he was in good spirits and doing well, which is what it's all about. He was a cool guy. He also gave me my first high five from a patient at SFMC. Excellent.
