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.

    A Hello Fresh box came today so we had mango pork tacos. Hubs and I went to Wal-Mart. Our big night on the town ? Hubs had found my parents' ice cream maker (an electric one) and I thought we'd make...

    I explored the CDC, CMS, and OSHA guidelines pretty thoroughly to determine what we should do at the hospital. We can return 5 days after symptom onset as long as no fever for 24 hours, with no...

    Joe, I had the mumps when I was maybe 4. I remember our neighbor coming to the door and seeing me and saying something to my mother like "oh you do have a sick one". I'm also pretty sure I remember...

    I am a terrible nurse. I just gave trazodone to the wrong dog. It's worse than that. I got home and twin B said that Dory had not had her selegiline today. So I decided to give it to her now and took...

    I graduated at 48 and I'm 59 now. Wouldn't change a thing. You're doing great in school and you'll be fine. I did recently take a more administrative job and always thought I should have a plan for...

    Good evening, everyone. I'd do more individual responses but I am lazy about typing on this phone! Joe, I do want to congratulate you on the award nomination. That's great! One of our ER...

    Tweety, that sucks for your friend and his husband. I agree that I'll just not go on a cruise. (unless it's just me and Hubs on our own boat ?). We enjoyed Stranger Things. Sure hope there's...

    Joe, that's cool. The city park has the lake where there are herons, ducks and geese of course, and occasionally other interesting birds. A few years ago there were bald eagles nesting there one...

    Hi, all! Joe, I hope you don't get sick. Where do you do your bird-watching? It was a decent long weekend. Twin A sort of enjoyed his little trip to Ft. Worth. He got an upset stomach and...

    I went out and bought a wading pool for bathing the doggos. They're not fans of playing in the water ? but maybe it will still feel good to get bathed and cooled off. 97 degrees today. Twin A...

    J22, I also have to satisfy Mr. Meat and Potatoes. That said, our one remaining Hello Fresh meal is Italian chicken with lemon-y spaghetti. Which sounds pretty good. And Hubs does like pasta dishes...

    No veggies in sight, Tweety! LOL. I did eat some strawberries and kiwi that were in the fridge. And that sounds really good right now. I might be able to score some grapes and a banana or apple from...

    Hey all! Welcome back, dianah! Stars, I'm sure you refrained from saying "I told you so". Or maybe not. ? Tweety, I always found it nice when someone expressed gratitude, even if I...

    I'm easily startled, so I usually jump and *then* cuss when my phone rings. In all honesty, I've developed some anxiety about even talking to people I *like* on the

    Not sure what mindfulness means exactly, but I think I need it. My mind bounces all over the place too. It is a supreme effort to focus on any one thing to its completion. On the other hand, I can...
