    Ya know, when people take the time to post something that communicates that they care, then your responses should show the same concern for detail. Your response makes it look like your just getting material for a paper or something.

    If you don't you'll miss alot of good input when you really need it because people will quit responding to you posts.

    It doesn't have to be literary prose, but people around here expect you to give back what they put in.
    Whats that sapposed to mean? Who is that directed towards.

    UPDATE:
    On Thursday I was working, and things wee going alright, not good, but usually tolerable for me, and then I went out on a break and burst into tears. I don't even know why I did this, but it happened. I cried for a good 15 minutes, and then I went inside and the tremors stopped. and now it is saturday and I havnt had tremors since. I would like to thank everyone for their advice. And I will kep you up to date.

    I am curious...if you are 17, what kind of nursing are you doing where you are charting? Are you a student, or a CNA? I didn't realize you could be working as a nurse at 17.

    Thats right....it's my biliruben, lol. I ain't said I advocate drinking and smoking. All I said is that if you want to, go right ahead.

    Whats worse: denial or surpression? :chuckle
