busy busy work

Went to work on Monday. It was so freaking busy. We have this program called GRASP at work that measures our work load for the day. After you enter in what you've done for the patient for the day, it would tell you approximately how many hours you've spent on him/her. I did it on one of my patients, he turned out to be 9.12 hours!!! Plus i still had 2 others who were rated 2. something and 3. something. Plus i went for my 1.5 hour break. How does that add up? I do not understand... The people up there probably don't look at these anyways, they won't be able to comprehend the amount of work that we do at bed side. I have to say that I am proud of what i've accomplished for the day and still be able to go for my breaks.

GRASP is annoying. I always have to do it the same day because it rolls back to the day of entry if you do it any other day but the day you do your work.

I did not have a break until 4pm (from 8:45am). I ate lunch while doing prep for my 11am patients. So, I shamelessly went to the one hour pilate class at 4pm and did not look back :P
