I'm not getting any better. No. Every day I get sicker.
Thursday I had a bit of a sore throat.
Friday it was a bad sore throat and a funny nose.
Saturday it was a nasty head cold and exhaustion.
Today it is migrating into my chest, the exhaustion is even worse and I feel hot all over.
I don't see how I could possible pull together a 12 hour shift like this, let alone if I am worse tomorrow. And my nurse is only scheduled for three days this week and I have 17.5 hours to get in by Friday. Of course on top of that, this is likely to turn into bronchitis if not pneumonia and linger around me for a couple weeks.
I emailed my professor to ask her what the contingency plan is and if she makes me stay here into July to get the hours clocked I will be sooooooooooo ANGRY with her: At the very beginning of the summer my nurse only worked 24 hours one week and I asked my professor if I could work an extra 12 with someone else that week to make sure I finished on time and she said no because there was extra time built in at the end for something like that. Well I knew if we didn't prepare for the worst, the worst would come. And it has.
It's taking me longer and longer to recover between shifts and the stress of knowing I'm not going to finish on time is not helping.
