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.

    Rained off and on all day. A little thunder off and on. Dory dog has handled pretty well. She's a little edgy but nothing like the frenzy of Friday night and Saturday. I did order some Rescue Remedy...
