Finally getting the hang of...

...this thing.
Even managed to have a quick peek at sod this for sodgers - the first effort at a blog where I quickly forgot the name of it and could never get back on it again....and I got a comment, someone read it...Result!

Night shift again, SCBU's nice and settled. Some are getting ready for home in the next few days and no doubt some other wee souls will be needing our help.

February and August are not very good times to be in hospital with the change-round of doctors. The worst ones are those with a wee bit of experience who think they know it all (as in Fuck All) and have already got some bad habits, especially if they are returning to a unit where they worked previously with no experience, they think they've got something to prove.
The best have never worked in a neonatal unit before - virgin territory - shit scared but ready to listen when you try to keep them sticking to the protocols we work by.
Lets face it, if it all goes pear shaped but you've stuck to the protocols, the bosses will back you up. If you havn't, you're on your own and Hell Bloody mend you.

Worst case scenario, someone who's never worked with neonates before and doesn't even have English as a second language.

Some sick tw@'s having a laugh.
