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.

    Gma was up in the middle of the night insisting she was going home. She had thrown up in her bed, too. Hubs is tired. Neither of us slept well after being woken up about 3 am. Of course, we're...

    Dinner with the choir was a nice break. We didn't practice much, just looked at the new music and listened to a couple of recordings. Today had been Hubs' turn to get crazy texts from stepson. I...

    We still give Librium in the hospital for alcohol withdrawal. I gather that it helps with the symptoms. I've seen some people who didn't seem to have much trouble and some for whom the withdrawal...

    Good day, all! Stayed home from work yesterday feeling a bit iffy with a sore throat. Twin A was having similar symptoms. Much better today. From about 5:30 to 11:30 pm last night stepson lit up...

    How fun dianah! My dad was born and grew up in Washington, OK (most inhabitants -- at least when I was a kid -- would pronounce that Warshinton. I drive through the Slaughterville area (take...

    A good day to stay in bed, indeed. The event at the museum was fun. I helped kids make "track identifiers". One side had different animal tracks and the other side showed which animal they...

    Joe, glad you've had some good work days and good feedback. I do think we all need a creative outlet. And you might be losing your choir (though you did say you'd probably do some ensembles) so...

    J22 sorry about your car. It must have been hit hard. The moon looks full. Is that contributing to everyone's anxiety? I'm actually doing alright the last few days even with worrying about...

    Stars, what a sad story. I hope there's something good in that girl's future. We picked up Chinese food last night. There isn't any locally but we drove to the big town so I could get a baby...

    When it came up in a small subgroup of our risk management conference one of the men (I think he's a hospital CEO) actually laughed and said he had a 100% chance of not getting it. I was reminded of...

    dianah, it is a mental health problem. He was just turning 20 in 2004 when the first really apparent episode occurred. He was diagnosed at the time with bipolar disorder but I think there is surely...

    Coffee liqueur with chocolate sounds yummo, does it not? Hubs is one of those who doesn't like frosting so much, so I usually leave part of the cake unfrosted for him. For me, the thicker the frosting...
