Nursing is such an awesome profession. It comes with some heavy responsibility, heavy people and heavy attitudes. Now add being an emergency nurse into the mix. Not only is everything heavy – it’s crusty, too. Add in a smell (like under something that rarely gets lifted, or be it someone’s coming who you know will [...]

Kindly Robbed, Thank you.

Today, I was robbed. It’s been the fourth time I’ve been robbed of a perfectly good day. You see, I had my fourth migraine headache in 3 months. Albeit, it was a relatively minor headache…it did have the characteristics of my symptomatic migraines…Unilateral pain, nausea, mild photo-phobia and an aura. The pain was managed by [...]

Crackers!

You know what I hate? It’s when I bite into a cookie or cracker – like soda crackers or oreos…and the cookie or cracker CRACKS in a totally different place than I bit into it. It cracks into 3 or more pieces instead of 2. THAT IRK’s me. It’s Irksome.

Blasted

Those blasted kids. I usually don’t complain about my kids, but lately – I can’t help it. We’re supposed to be an eternal family…but lately, I can’t tell. Cute Liam…he’s so cute. Cuddly. Then there’s Lauren, sweet and squooshy. She’s always so kind hearted. So sweet and soft. Such a good friend.
Now we get into [...]

18 Car Pileup

I remember what it was like when I was a kid. I heard on the news that there was an 18 car pileup on the highway. I have to admit…that’s one of my fears. Well, there’s one of sorts in my life. OK, here’s the problem…behind on everything bills because school is done, car will [...]

:-(

So…I got a letter from a hospital giving me the all-too-familiar rejection letter. “We’re sorry, but we picked somebody infinitely more wise, knowledgeable and oh we DO wish you good luck. Ta-ta!” I’m tired of the down-right freakin’ rude rejection letters after weeks of wait. I’m tired of wondering if my previous nursing school’s [...]

Press On

This morning I realized that I needed to work on my nursing process paper, right? So I was looking for my paperwork for the patient (I’m really tired, so bear with me…I just need to get this out of my head so I will remember it forever). In looking for my paperwork in my records, [...]

Fried Nursing Student

OK – so I am getting tired of nursing school. Sometimes. Today is one of those days. Saturday, I will feel better because I won’t be in clinical. I hope I pass my clinical. I don’t think I am doing well. Well, today I really prepared for tomorrow. I hope that will be good. Nursing [...]

Fried Apples

My computer has a psychological disorder. I just diagnosed it. It had water on the brain and I had to perform surgery to relieve the pressure and decrease seizures. In the process, I nicked a major nerve center and for a while it was in a coma. Nothing could bring it back. So I opened [...]

Wasted Time

Yesterday was a bit disappointing. I was just tired of school work so I just lurked around the internet, blogging and researching some school stuff. Paid the electricity in town, bought sponges. I didn’t get much done, but then I had it with the kitchen, so I did ALL the dishes (the kitchen was a [...]
