Horoscopes just for Nurses!
Virgo
Did someone tell you this was a holiday weekend? You know what that means: barely contained chaos…and that’s if you’re at home. If you’re working, things will be nuts — challenging, exciting, and well worth while — but nuts! Things calm down after Thursday. A celebration of some sort promises unforeseen delights.
Libra
Nervous energy, frayed nerves, nervous tension: normally balanced Libra has a tough week in store. Don’t worry about losing your last nerve, however: surely someone is standing on it for you!
Scorpio
Just when you thought you’d seen everything, Scorpio, a patient tries to enlist you in their multi-level marketing program (can we say Amway?) en route to the operating room. As tempting as the offer might be, the smart move would be to say “No thanks…” and run!
Sagittarius
Pharmacists are reporting being under an increasing amount of stress. Shame on you, Sagittarius, for your dogged determination to give patients the medication they need at the time they’re supposed to have them! There. That should resolve the unwarranted feelings of guilt you’re likely to be carrying this week. Let it go: you’re a great nurse but that doesn’t mean you can solve all of the world’s problems.
Capricorn
Being open to new adventure is a great characteristic; however you might want to look closely at your personal definition of adventure. It might be time to push the envelope a little further than trying the cafeteria’s ‘special’. (Then again, depending on your cafeteria, maybe not!)
Aquarius
There is no limit to what the human mind can imagine. This week, you’ll see this play out in your unit, where patients and visitors come up with exciting new ways to make sure you never get *bored* and your colleagues dazzle you with something you only suspected possible.
Pisces
When in doubt, write it down. Back to school sales will have pens on sale; stock up.
Aries
A surprising turn of events leaves you in charge of your entire facility for the day. You have the power to hire, to fire, and to straighten things out. Enjoy! Ok, it was a nice pipe dream: your urge to take charge and impose some sort of order will trouble you this week. Focus on changing what you can, and let the rest go. The problems will still be there tomorrow.
Taurus
Truthful Taurus has a tough time with liars this week: whether it’s the patient who ‘forgets’ that they ate a cheeseburger despite being NPO or the charge nurse who claims they never got your vacation request — which you submitted months in advance, in triplicate, taped to a twenty-dollar bill! Stay calm, take deep breaths, and stick to your guns.
Gemini
If you are a psychiatric nurse, Gemini, this week will hold no surprises for you.
Cancer
The best way to beat stress and enjoy life is to develop the ability to laugh at yourself. This is prime time for you to learn that lesson, Cancer: this week will be full of chances to find the humor in some awkward locations. Congratulations — we think!
Leo
This week you’ll get an unexpected compliment. The Power Pudding you delivered did the trick — and those thank yous from the patient…well, they’re not sh***ing you, if you know what we mean! Good job!
