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.

    Joe, sounds like an important conversation/realization/recognition you had. I don't know how long you and J were together, but change is usually daunting at first and then you see the opportunities it...

    Good morning, all! Joe, hope you're able to get together with J. Allergies have left me with a really sore throat today, wonder if sitting by the fire last night contributed. If so, it was worth...

    Book club was a gas. Glad I went. The only time I had a Foley was when I had the C-section. It was uncomfortable before surgery but I didn't even notice it after the spinal anesthesia wore off....

    Finished the population & sampling and the chart abstracted measures. The worst part of that is the sampling for ER throughput. Have to submit 96 randomly selected charts. Still need to...

    I'm cautiously hopeful, Stars. Hubs naps. Says he gets really sleepy about 2:30 pm and usually naps for a little less than an hour. Me, I can sleep almost any time and I do get sleepy if I'm not...

    Tweety, the move is 1 week from today, Nov 2. We had originally planned it for midnight but now we're planning for 6 a.m. This makes more sense as it is the shift change for the ER doctors. One can...

    Joe, I hope the new restaurant was good and a good time. And Tweety, enjoy the concert! A bone density test is one of the things I keep putting off. My mother was thin and a lifelong smoker so...

    The VIP open house went well. There's one for the public Friday afternoon. I'm in the midst of quarterly CMS reporting but made good progress today. Sounds as if BIL will be having the CABG but...

    I just woke up to the fact that the VIP grand opening event is tomorrow night. Might have missed the window for a new outfit. ? Brother-in-law is still getting more tests. Twin A fell off a...

    Heaven knows I'm not the VIP but I guess the guests are. Our pastor told me she got an invitation. The Rotary Club meets at our church and she wondered if that was her "connection". I was given...

    Hey, all! Joe, a 2-hour meeting is never fun. Our church back in Indiana went through the buy/build question several years ago and did end up building a new parsonage. Tweety, the bathroom...

    Joe, I prefer in-person meetings, too. We live in a small town so it's not as if we have to travel far. dianah, I agree that it is *always* something! Our HVAC system is original to the house,...

    Ado Annie replied to Beerman's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    I'm pretty familiar with the story. Dan corrected a child who spelled it correctly, expecting that it should have an "e" on the end, which is an older spelling and not the currently sanctioned one....

    I wish it would just work out that way for Mr. Stars. Strike while the iron is hot and all that. Too bad about the Braves. My brother and his wife are enthused about the Astros so I guess...

    What a maroon. To me it is laughable that anyone takes this guy seriously, no matter what their politics are. Then again, I can't laugh precisely because they do take him seriously and defend him and...
