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.

    Glad you "woke up" and realized you could turn off the alarm, Tweety 😅 Joe, are you going to Brown County? That was a favorite destination in the fall for us. Changing jobs is a big move......

    Joe, I'm glad the storms weren't too severe where you are. Stars, we can put a lot of "shoulds" on ourselves but somedays you "should" give yourself a break. It is possible that I give myself...

    dianah, that soup sounds good. Happy bday to your son. It was a Monday at work, starting with the EHR being down for a couple of hours. One patient admitted overnight had flu but the nurse...

    Tweety, it is a skate easy assignment. And the aide is an excellent one who won't ignore call lights, will make sure everyone is bathed and walked, etc. Woke at 5:00 this morning to an imminent...

    dianah, I enjoy the new Poirot shows, too. And need to rewatch Waking Ned Devine! There were 6 patients on the floor today. Even though there were 2 nurses and an aide, it fell to me to do an...

    Well. I misunderstood. Brother and SIL still have no power and they've been told it will be at least the 14th before they do. My passport came today! Did you ever see the Steve Martin movie The...

    Goodness. Glad Jozee's eye is healing. I've never had to give any of my pets eye drops, that I remember. Hubs, on the other hand, has eye drops again because he scratched his cornea somehow. He...

    Hello, all. Glad Slowbro and Momo are feeling better. I checked in with my brother who lives on the Texas Gulf coast. They were without power for ... I don't know. A while. But all else was fine....

    Nice pictures, dianah. It looks cool and pleasant, even if it isn't (cool). Rose_Queen, one thing that gets me through some hot days is freezer pops. I'm especially fond of the purple-flavored...

    Joe, that sounds like a nice visit with family. It's windy, raining, and rumbling outside. Hubs already said he plans to stay home. So I'm thinking I will skip church and lie here reading. My...

    Well, #*&^. Now we are on a boil advisory as a precaution because of several days with low water pressure. I bought bagged ice (brought in on a truck -- I checked) for the hospital and we have...

    Happy Independence Day! We did nothing. But It was a good nothing. 🙂. Actually, I baked an apple pie and a fresh peach cobbler. Then grilled hot dogs, brats, and corn. There is a watermelon in...

    I never feel as if it's all done when I leave the office. But most of the time I can ride that wave. I try to plan ahead for deadlines. I agree that getting out into nature is great for...

    That sauce sounds really good. Yes, I wondered about all the garlic. Perhaps roasting does mellow the flavor. I bought Roma tomatoes at the farmers market yesterday but not enough (I bought all they...

    Stepson and I did one of the architecture tours on a boat in Chicago back when he lived there and I visited. It was interesting and fun. Niece says stepson checked himself into a psych hospital...

    Dory let us know it was time. She started refusing food and treats. I called yesterday to make an appointment for euthanasia which was for 11:20 today. Then Hubs called me about 10:30 to say he...

    Took Binx back to the vet today because the spot on his lip got bigger/looked swollen. I was so relieved when the doctor squeezed it and blood and pus came out. An abscess, not cancer. She cleaned it...

    He could, but he won't. It wouldn't be politically expedient for him to draw attention to the fact that Trump didn't want a successful immigration bill so he told the Republicans not to pass it and...

    I'm a napper when I have the opportunity (weekends). It does interfere with sleep at night. Sunday night I didn't sleep well at all so yesterday was a long day. Hubs naps every day. I don't know what...
