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.

    Tweety, I'm sorry. Hope you don't get very sick and that you recover soon. Covid is hitting our staff hard. I just learned that 2 full-time ER nurses and one PRN are out. How we're going to...

    Sounds like a pleasant day, Joe. Hope your workweek is wonderfully normal. Tweety, it always feels good to get the stick that someone else couldn't. But, yeah, then you get humbled every now and...

    Unless anyone at home surprises me, we'll do a Hello Fresh meal this evening. Yeah, I did let the vet biopsy our cat's jaw after treating with antibiotics didn't help. So we knew it was cancer...

    Joe, I guess I should put all meetings on my phone calendar or my Outlook calendar so I get reminders. I feel foolish when I forget. (or go an hour early for an appointment!) Stars, is it your...

    What Nursej22 said. You've done what you can do, Stars. Only 92 today and those clouds still look like there could be rain. Gma is calling the dog a shitass because she keeps going in to...

    Joe, come to think of it, yesterday may have been the hottest temp I've experienced. I know it was about 113 when we were in Las Vegas many years ago (and so dry. I was OK as long as I carried around...

    J22, I feel for your daughter (and you). I hope she gets the help she needs. It's awful to have to be on a long waiting list for therapy. My first prescription for an SSRI came when I went to my...

    Oh, it would be *so fun* if you could come! It's work-related but I plan to spend any free time floating in the lazy river at the water park, even if it's raining! I'm leaving my crowd at home. Hubs...

    That's all I have to say right now. Thankful the A/C works both at work and at home. I'm going to Vermont next week and should see some rain and cooler temps

    Stars, I'm sorry. You have 2 people to take care of and one of them could take care of himself if he would. Though I'm not discounting the difficulty of quitting drinking. Maybe his provider was...

    Tweety, those dishes sound good. I did not sleep well, either. Partly due to that night shift/ day shift thing but also my generally poor sleep habits. My sister had some troubles with rats a couple...

    The sun is bright and hot here. Twin B grilled some burgers, brats, and corn for us. The West side of the house gets really warm on these hot Summer afternoons. My mom was determined that their next...

    Joe, sounds like a good busy day! Enjoy that weather OKC may see a high of 108 today. Tweety, these shifts are 7p to 7a. I didn't go to the office yesterday so I could rest/sleep. It's still...

    dianah, that pie sounds good. Pie crust is always hit or miss for me. Probably would be more consistent if I did it more often. Hubs always tells how he used to eat rhubarb straight from his...

    I would ride my bike to the library when I was a kid, too. My mother worked there. The year I was 15 they moved the library to a new school/"human services" building across town so I didn't ride my...

    Wow, I just re-read the comment above saying that the PBGC was expected to be insolvent by 2026 (just in time for me to be ready to collect my pension). I had not heard that and I'm horrified. I am...

    Including me, after a 25-year career. My in-laws worked at the same place as union employees and kept their UAW pensions. Mine is not as much as it would have been (was promised to be) but at least I...
