Erm.

Just working at the PICU today.
Haven’t written because of exhaustion. I’m pleased to share, however, that clinicals is done with and I’ve only got a couple of days left.
I’m working on my 33rd of 36 hours needing to be logged from Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. So, needless to say, I am not terribly coherent.
I promise [...]

Screw You.

Today was a rough day. Third day out of three means, the last stretch of 36 hours since Friday.
Which means, I probably wouldn’t have been in a good mood anyways.
But then.
I keep getting bugged at work because I never bake/cook anything to bring it in. Usually because I never know about since I’m an HUC [...]

Update in a Huge Nutshell.

This update is for the Dutchman. I have to admit I have been pretty awful at updating lately. I went on Fall Break starting not last Friday but the one before. I worked that weekend and then lolligagged all last week playing Rock Band and watching movies. I worked yesterday, today, and then will tomorrow [...]

20.

Today I am twenty.
I am no longer a teenager.
I am full of shrimp curry, salad, dr pepper, and cake.
I am watching Jericho with my husband.
I am content and happy.
I am finishing up homework.
This is a great start to the new year.

Uninteresting.

Last 24 hours:
-Went to clinical, successful skills lab, great clinical feedback, got dismissed early, went home, watched TV, research online, ate dinner with husband, got in argument with him, made up/fell asleep, woke up, went to work, worked, did bills in downtime, waiting to clock out [in a half hour], will go to in-laws house [...]

Names?

Working in a hospital, you see tons of names. Every day all day. And some of those names are less conventional than others. Nowadays, people are trying to be as creative as possible with names.
One of my coworkers is pregnant and we were looking at some names online. Some of those were names I had [...]

You know you’ve been in nursing school too long when…

Yesterday was a full day of clinicals. Got out at three and worked on my paperwork and then gave my brother-in-law a ride home. I got home finally a little before six and studied until Ishaq got off of work.
We had a lovely dinner date at PF Changs and then went home to watch a [...]

Crazy World.

The world is going crazy!
In the last 72 hours, there has been a mudslide in India, 7.1 earthquake in Japan, a typhoon in China, helicopter/plane collision over the Hudson River, prison riot in California near where I grew up, and reports of the glaciers melting quicker than normal.
My brother-in-law thinks 2012 is real and [...]

Self-Reflection?

Ugh, sometimes it feels we can’t catch a break. As soon as we get ahead in one way, something else comes up. Typical.
But it doesn’t matter. I’m happy! I’ve got a wonderful husband and a job that pays the bills. That’s what matters, right?
I can’t believe that it’s already been a year since school started. [...]

Oh, the sweet sound of music.

So, my car is a ‘98. And by ‘98, I mean a radio and tape deck- no CD player. And there is certainly no output to hook up to my iphone (Yes, I caved and bought an iphone a couple of weeks ago. It’s love.) I have bought and worn through several tape decks that [...]
