Ado Annie ASN, RN

Med/Surg

Nursing is my second career, and I'm so glad I made the change. I don't always love it, but most of the time I do.

    The 8-hr exposure was what I was remembering from a conversation with the TB specialist as the state health department. We had a woman come in for a chest xray to r/o TB. Absolutely no symptoms, just...

    This IP agrees there was way too much fuss over the TB rule-out patient. It was already unlikely he had TB, and it takes a fairly significant exposure. Just put a mask on him and move

    Stars, that's Ado Annie in Oklahoma! singing about being a girl who "cain't say no" 😁 Tweety, what a stressful day. Ugh. I've done nothing today and I guess it's time to do something...

    I'm glad Lulu is on the way to feeling better. If only they could tell us what's going on! Joe, we played board games at church Wednesday night (and had hot dogs and ice cream). Hubs and I played...

    Joe, since you know you are considered a high performer, it makes sense to seek clarification but it's probably not something to stress too much over. It may reflect higher expectations based on past...

    Yeah, while I might not have the country twang of some Oklahomans, I definitely don't speak like a Yankee. I used to be more formal and proper but somewhere along the way decided that "ya'll" is...

    Well, yes, I do have a lot on my mind! I'm putting together a storyboard on isolation precautions. Apparently "enteric" or "contact-plus" has fallen out of favor and the CDC says that using hand...

    As I generally expected, there was one muffin left when I got home last night. Everyone liked them, though Hubs says he would prefer "just banana" -- forget the blueberries. Funny, because I was...

    Inspired by you all, I made blueberry-banana muffins last night and that was my breakfast this morning. I suspect that with my crowd at home (both Twin A and Twin B are on "vacation" this week) there...

    Beautiful day here and Hubs and I are relaxing at the table outside. I've been reading Hidden Valley Road, a nonfiction book about a family with 12 children: 10 boys then 2 girls. Six of the...

    Joe, I hope you've had a nice day off. Tweety, let us know how your tofu dish turns out. Stars -- oh, my, Tinker! At least now you know what she's capable of (LOL) and can be prepared. Binx...

    I went overboard with calendars this year. I bought a notebook-style calendar year at the bookstore that was part of my Christmas stuff. And forgot about it, I guess, so bought a similar one for my...

    Joe, you've jumped ahead a day. I was momentarily confused by the time warp. When I drove home yesterday, the car thermometer said 106. The "real" temp, depending who you want to believe, was 99...

    Joe, do you use the muffins as desserts/snacks through the week? I'm planning to make another banana bread since we again have overripe bananas. It could be muffins, instead. More portable that way....

    I'd like to visit the PNW sometime. Closest I've been is Utah. After all, it was just last year I finally made it to the west coast! Yes, a spay/neuter clinic would be less $$$$ than the vet's...

    94 and feels like 103 but we have a heat warning for tomorrow afternoon with "feels like" temps up to 110. I dress for the chilly air in the hospital, though, usually in layers. It's going to be a hot...

    Growing up I was much more of a cat person but we have had dogs that I loved and now I think most dogs are wonderful. Hubs thinks chihuahuas and other small ones are indeed the devil's dogs. My...

    I'm kind of hoping the little chihuahua needs a home, too. Went with the boys to watch Superman last night. We enjoyed it. I was mistaken about their having been discouraged from watching it....
