I lost my blog!

For some reason my blog disappeared. It was Kat's Kauldron, and I had even added pictures.
You have to understand tech things are difficult for me.
I just finished working 2 12 hour shifts and am starting to think maybe it's time to do something else other than nursing. The staffing issues are bad enough but now there's hortizonal violence to deal with.

Its a word that's started buzzing around the unit lately. It is related to employee interrelations in a unit. It was developed (I believe by nursing nuts). I googled it and it is considered beyond bullying. It's things like rolling your eyes, making someone feel left out, not making eye contact when being addressed.

This will let you know what I'm talking about. The buzz at our hospital is that it's immediate dismissal.
OK, I've been in the ICU I work in for 14 years, the coping mechanism in the unit are mostly sarcasm and head beating on the wall. What are we supposed to do. We laugh alot and at anything.
When we get new nurses and they are doing something wrong, we have to tell them. I try to get them aside away from everyone and tell them, I also try to assure them, They can't do anything that hasn't been done before. I never ridicule anyone
I guess we'll all see how it goes once it reaches the unit level..
OH well, I got fabric to make the table cloth for the cake table at my son's wedding. He's getting married on Sept 27th. Pictures to follow.
It's an outdoor wedding, all the leaves will be brilliant fall colors.
I'm almost finished with my ambienance quilt. I'l post pics of that too
