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.

    When I was doing a contract at another hospital there was an aide that left after learning she was being floated to another unit. Pretty sure she was fired after that. I did not have to work the...

    Or pee in inappropriate places (well, too much). This new cat, though neutered, does the spray thing. Makes the place smell so bad. I'm over it. He's really sweet/loving but ugh! Went to choir...

    Pretty sure my last visit to a movie theater was November 2021 when we were visiting stepson. Hubs and I were meeting friends at the theater to see something and I slipped and fell while leaving the...

    I had to look up arepas and they do look tasty. My sleep hygiene is equally terrible. I know what I need to do and I don't do it. (cut off screen time by 10 p.m. at latest, for example -- but...

    Joe, I meant to say the other day that I don't grow my own vanilla beans. That would be far beyond my skill level. I buy them. They're not cheap but I think my homemade vanilla extract is cheaper than...

    Tweety, I used to hear about the free charge nurse, but I always thought it was a myth ? J22, tacos, a walk, and cake (on different days) sounds like a perfect way to celebrate retirement. I...

    Long but uneventful day. The telemed hospitalist visited the hospital today. We've had a couple of bad Google reviews that are really baseless. Wonder what would happen if we started rating patients?...

    I would *like* to have a "place for everything and everything in its place" but that's just not how I roll. I joke about being "organizationally impaired" but really do think there's some ADHD or...

    I had a vitrectomy in Nov 2020 because of a macular hole. The surgeon makes incisions for the trocar and removes the vitreous fluid and replaces it (in my case with a "gas bubble"). I didn't really...

    Tomorrow is election day. The only thing on the ballot is a "state question" proposing legal recreational marijuana. We've had medical marijuana for what (?) 3 years now? And there's a dispensary on...

    No news is good news, I guess. The weather's going to change again and prove to us that Winter isn't over. I had a heating pad out Saturday and didn't put it away. Found the eldest cat lying on...

    Hello all! Joe, how cool to see a bald eagle! We went to church this morning. The choir sang. Hubs was weird and wanted to leave before the service was really over. Apparently he was worried...

    My parents made things very easy for us as far as all the schtuff to deal with when they died. Nevertheless, Dads retirement fund still has about $1000 that I can get if I can get a bank account for...

    I echo those hugs and thoughts, Tweety. There's a lot to mourn -- the relationship yhat was, the one that could have been if he had been able to overcome the addiction, and the death (perhaps lonely)...

    I hear you, Joe. Growth/change is uncomfortable. Maybe you can concentrate or a small number of behaviors to begin with? Tweety, I can imagine (sort of) what it was like to come out in 1977. I...
