We are still here....

I survived this workweek. Yeah!!! Actually, I was put "on call" yesterday (Thurs) and did not have to go in until mid-afternoon so it was nice to get a little rest. We switched over to a completely new computer charting system in our Labor and Delivery unit. The first day "live" was on Tues. and it has been complete and utter chaos. Most of us are paper charting everything and then putting it on the computer. So it's double charting but by Thurs afternoon I had figured some of it (like 25%) out. They keep telling us that we will love it when we get used to it...we'll see. I feel like I finally figured out the first system (since May) and now they get a whole new one. Actualy they had to change. We were like the last hospital still using the old system and it goes off line totally on Dec31, 2008. Nothing like waiting 'til the last minute.Ugh...I hate that! The parade is tomorrow. Will post pictures... work Sun...Went shopping today with Meme and Allie and we had lunch at Red Robin..Yum...Stay tuned...
