Bad news- one of my travelers had put down for 2 weeks off before she started her new contract. When her friend was here(you remember the guy that just up and quit on a friday?) she had told us that she would only take one of those weeks. Well she called yesterday and is still wanting to take that 2nd week. I had a feeling all week that that would happen, I am really starting to think that I have some minimal psychic abilities. So we will be short handed again next week. And the new girl that just came still has her kids so she can't take call. She actually wanted to bring an 8 yr old and a 2 yr old to the operating room and have them stay in our staff lounge while she was working.
Good news- my director has hired one of the scrub tech students to work in cvor. She has really impressed EVERYONE in the operating room. She picks up quickly and seems to have a good work ethic, something that is lacking in many of today's young people. So as soon as she graduates in August I will have a new employee. Permanent one!!!! Yay!!
