Forgot To Restock Medicine Supplies - Oops!

Anonymous Cuddly Duckling #703 · General Confessions

So here I am, Nurse Alice from the adult unit at County Hospital. Not exactly a glamorous confession, but it's one that keeps me up at night sometimes. You see, the other day, we had a new shipment of some vital medicine for our patients, and as per protocol, it needed to be checked in before being distributed to the floor. Now, I swear I marked it on my calendar with an extra star so I wouldn't forget. But you know how that goes, life gets hectic when you're dealing with human lives every day. So there I was, breezing through the day like a professional (yes, a sarcastic nurse, if you couldn't tell), and suddenly it hit me around 5 PM that morning's delivery had gone unnoticed. My stomach dropped faster than an unattended IV drip. Oh no, the shift would end soon, and the medicine wasn’t stocked yet, talk about missing the boat! You'd think I’d be more organized or something, but hey, every superhero has their kryptonite. For me, it’s remembering to fill in paperwork for supplies when my mind is on saving lives rather than office tasks. But now here I am feeling like a little who forgot her chores, which, ironically, is kind of what this feels like as a nurse. So here's hoping someone notices before too much trouble brews.
