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.

    That's beautiful, J22! So glad no need for intervention for your dh. Very little going on here. I keep getting letters from some land company that wants to drill for oil in the area. They...

    I hear you about wanting some alone time. I could get so much done if everyone else took a little vacation and let me stay home alone. I run off to my bedroom because it needs to be quiet (and more or...

    Back to a more normal schedule today, though I did drive to NW OKC for a meeting this morning. Tweety, I do get paid when I end up working a shift. Not a lot, but I get paid. Our nurse manager went to...

    What, hot outside in Florida in June? Say it ain't so!! Sounds like a good day, Joe. It was a busy night for our small-town ER. One code, 4 transfers, and 3 victims from an ATV accident...

    Ugh. As the nursing admin on call this week I am filling in tonight in the ER. Definitely out of my comfort zone. It was full when I got here but now we are down to 1 patient. I lazed around all...

    Someone from the city asked us on Tuesday if the hospital could man a first aid station at the fireworks show tonight. The evening was supposed to start at 5:00 with food trucks, a car show, etc. and...

    Joe, hope your dinner goes well tonight. Tweety, sorry about the difficulties with your parents. It's not an easy time. I had to insist that Hubs break out of his homebody status and...

    Great photos, Tweety! You know, I think this is the first time you've grumbled even a little bit about sharing your space for an indefinite period of time. Even with a good friend, it can be...

    I don't tolerate the heat as well as I get older. Thank God for air conditioning. I hope we don't have an apocalyptic event that leaves us without because I would not last long. Hot yoga sounds...

    Hello, all! Neither Hubs nor I had the energy to go to church but he did go over to the nursing home to sing for the little service there. I begged off. So far "only" 89 degrees and rather...

    Hope your work weekend is good, Tweety. 97 sounds hot, Joe, but The Cheesecake Factory sounds good. It's "only" 86 right now. I took care of my thirsty plants. The flowers look OK but the...

    Happy Juneteenth Without the rain to keep things cooler, we're in the 90s today. The air conditioning is being wonky and though I'm usually too cold at the office it is currently pretty warm....

    Wow. What a day, Tweety! We had our hospital and nursing leadership meetings today. They were fairly productive for meetings, but took a lot of time. I'm tired and feel like I could go to sleep...

    They can usually run the license through some database and find the insurance. But I guess it is also required to carry proof of insurance. Which they probably mailed to us ... Hubs says he needs to...

    Joe, that sounds like a busy/full day. I love a good thunderstorm, as long as I can stay in and be safe. My sleeping habits are pretty bad right now. I'll go to bed around 10-10:30, but browse...

    Yeah, I've been thinking about changing anyway. It's too far away and they are always so busy and not very responsive. It's just that it's a hassle to make the change. But I think I should....
