We have a small farm where we raise ethical meat, eggs, and honey. I hope to add wool to that after I graduate. I have 3 small kids.

  1. Letter to the Offended

    I love the kindle because it doesn't have the back light. Easier on my old eyes.
  2. Your best nursing tips/tricks

    Wetting the diaper (or a huge hospital pad) and putting that in the freezer for a while works well, too. Fewer ice cubes to chase around if it gets dropped.
  3. Have you ever been told

    *I* was misinformed about what nurses do until this semester, so I'm not surprised the public is.
  4. Literacy: A good quality in a unit secretary

    You'd be surprised how easy it is. Perhaps 'surprised' is the wrong word.
  5. One bad egg...

    We're supposed to have lab coats in our program. Am I snotty for having one?
  6. Really scared...

    Sure did!
  7. Here goes nothing

    I did great! We thought my CI lost a Tylenol 3 but she finfally found it in her pocket. I had two passes (one pt), one at 1500, one at 2000. The second one was the biggie, but it went fine. My pt was great, and didn't mind having a student which was...

  10. How do I nicely say "no"?

    It's also a complete sentence. "No." You don't owe an explanation unless you want to give one. "No."
  11. THANK YOU to those who wait until after T'giving. I'm having enough trouble accepting we're this far into another year without having to deal with giftmas celebrations in October.
  12. Trust me, I find it as annoying as you do, but I think what he's got to say about finances are spot on. WRT the others, Suze Orman makes me twitch. I'll have to look into Singletary, I've never heard of her.
  13. I third Dave Ramsey and urge you BOTH to go through Financial Peace University. It will help you A LOT if you just apply the principles. It's a lifetime membership so you can go back if you need to! You have a great attitude about all this. I hope yo...
  14. Done with first clinical rotation!

    Congrats! You've come a long way already. I'm glad you stuck with it through A&P.
  15. Mmmm, cheeeeeese fries.
