Higher Power Gifts

There is a saying that God looks after fools and children.
It would seem so. At least to me. I certainly felt like I needed someone to look after me.
This past schedule there was there weren't very many "nights" for me. Three exactly. Not much there to help out with the old pocket book. I was about in despair.
And then I found out one of the other Units needed help with Staffing. Lots of help it turned out.
Hallelujah!
Even on the nights, I was scheduled on my Units and would have been called off, I was "pulled" to that said Unit and asked to help out.
Translation: I got to go to work. And pull my shifts and be with patients and do my work.
And I was a good girl about it. Checked with my Boss and followed protocols and all the good stuff you're supposed to do before "loaning" yourself out.
And now I've got a new gig. I'll be working PRN for 2 Units. Which happily means double the chances at getting my hours in per pay period, even during low census.
So in a matter of a week, from despair to elation.
Funny. No. Lucky. Yes.
Blessed. Better.
And if God does indeed look after fools and children? Then I'm very thankful, He looks after this childish fool.
