So, imagine my surprise when scan the latest volume of Orthopaedic Nursing and find an article titled “Pelvic Fractures.”

The relevance? I was asked to write the SAME ARTICLE by one of their editors a few months ago. I have since spent hours on a case study, research and writing with the first draft due the beginning of September. Since being asked, I have requested the assistance of my peers, library staff, medical records staff and had informed both my new boss and my previous boss.

Boy do I feel like the asshole.

Good news? It was going to be difficult to finish it with my commitment to my flight nurse job. Most importantly, I will be using the same researched information (to include intra-op photos and lots of great films) in a talk I will be giving in February. All is not lost or wasted…this time.

Oh, and just for the record? Mine is better.

  • Night Shift by Emily

    Working night shift wears me out. We do a lot of “swing shifts” from days (7a-7p) to mids (10a-10p) to nights (7p-7a). Fortunately, in-house rules exist as to how we structure our schedule but I still struggle with those damn nights. Anyone else out there have issues with swinging from [...]

    Seven and a half years is a long time. My very first post on crzegrl was on 12 November 2003, a fitting date for me as so many major events have happened on that day for me. I swore into the Army. I closed on my first home. My friend [...]

    So many times when flying a very ill or injured patient, finding the alcohol swabs is monumentally difficult. As with everything else we do, how incredible when we are able to remove steps from a simple, but essential process. Hmmm, but what I really wonder about is the cost. And [...]
