...Sometimes I Forget...

So yeah...sometimes at work I forget things...like oh my god when I forgot to give Mr. Johnson his lunch today and he was so hungry...he's such a sweet old man, always smiling even though he's in pain all the time. And then there was that other time...when I mixed up Mrs. Lee's medication doses...I still feel bad about that one....She got really sick from taking too much of her pills for a day or two before we figured it out. But you know what gets me? Sometimes...it feels like my brain just decides to take random breaks...like when I'm in the middle of explaining something important to a patient and suddenly all I can think about is whether my hair looks okay...or if I have spinach stuck between my teeth from lunch...It's really frustrating, honestly....I feel bad because nursing is such an important job where you have to be on your game 100% of the time. And yet there are these moments when it feels like I'm completely scattered and can't focus at all. It's embarrassing, but also kind of funny how my mind works sometimes...
