When you work on a psychiatric rehab unit you begin to expect the unexpected, and then there's yesterday!

By 5:30pm I had:

...Passed meds.
...Broken up a fight.
...Assessed lungs.
...Gotten spit on (in the face).
...Made countless legal guardian calls.
...Helped plan halloween costumes.
...Charted.
...Broke up another fight.
...Assessed a skin lesion.
...Got spit on again.
...Passed meds.
...Been told I was beautiful.
...Defused another behavior.
...Crushed meds.
...Supervised in the dining room.
...Written Dr.'s orders.
...Oriented a new resident to the unit.
...Supervised the smokers.

Things calmed down after that.
