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.

    I've been interested in watching The Thursday Murder Club, too. Maybe Hubs would watch it with me this weekend. He has always liked Helen Mirren. Twin A has a recipe for almond croissants that he...

    dianah, I wish I could harmonize by ear. I feel like I'm not a real musician. I've tried to sing with the bunch that Hubs gets together with but need help finding the starting pitch. And I don't pick...

    Joe, I admire your ability to realize you're not enjoying something and therefore stop doing it. I tend to obsess over things and make myself do/complete them even if they're not satisfying. I...

    That's a long time to be sick, Tweety. Ugh. When you have one tech for 20 patients do you assign the tech to only the heaviest patients? And nurses do full care on the others? The Muppet Movie...

    J22, I'm glad you mentioned prescriptions since I needed a reminder to pick up one up before I go home. Glad you and dianah enjoyed your trips. Tweety, I think it was dianah with the 50 year...

    The flights worked out OK. The app is confusing but it worked. Stepson drove down to meet me for dinner (35 miles or so) last night. I hadn't seen him in almost 4 years. He looks good -- seems...

    Just got notified that my flight tomorrow morning is canceled and they are "working to rebook" me.

    Hope all goes well with the cataract surgery. And that your coworker gets better and gets back to work 95 degrees at the moment with a "feels like" of 104. One A/C unit went out over the...

    Gorgeous beach photos, J22! Sounds very pleasant. Like Stars, we are in the low 90s with a feels-like of 100 or so. Hubs is worried that it will rain before he finishes painting the boat. He thought...

    I am glad Tinker enjoyed her gifts. How nice! We had a stuffed tree limb with holes that had 3 little chipmunks to put in the holes. Darby had fun with it. When we had the teddy bear clinic the...

    The ceiling sprung a leak today (at the hospital). Apparently it is condensation from the A/C. It has been pretty hot (95 today, "feels like" 103), but this sure seems like a lot of water for it to be...

    It's been a decent day although I got an email forwarded from a patient's unhappy spouse who did some ugly name-calling and sent that email to all kinds of local and state and national entities....

    Was surprised to hear we're starting choir practice back up tonight. I was thinking AFTER Labor Day, and I'm sure the problem is that I didn't pay proper attention. So, we'll try to do that. Next week...

    Nice beach photo, J22! Are you traveling to a festival, dianah? And, wow, Stars, you can't make that stuff up! Hi, Joe Glad Tweety got out of jury duty at least. We've had a...

    It's looking like we can expect thunderstorms tonight and tomorrow. Then it will just get HOT again. Hubs moved the boat to the driveway this morning so he could do some work on it. In the process, he...

    My sister's dog ate chocolate Easter bunnies one year... or was it chocolate Santas? The vet said that since it was milk chocolate it should be OK -- not enough chocolate to make her sick. Hubs...

    The 8-hr exposure was what I was remembering from a conversation with the TB specialist as the state health department. We had a woman come in for a chest xray to r/o TB. Absolutely no symptoms, just...

    This IP agrees there was way too much fuss over the TB rule-out patient. It was already unlikely he had TB, and it takes a fairly significant exposure. Just put a mask on him and move

    I'm glad Lulu is on the way to feeling better. If only they could tell us what's going on! Joe, we played board games at church Wednesday night (and had hot dogs and ice cream). Hubs and I played...

    Joe, since you know you are considered a high performer, it makes sense to seek clarification but it's probably not something to stress too much over. It may reflect higher expectations based on past...

    Yeah, while I might not have the country twang of some Oklahomans, I definitely don't speak like a Yankee. I used to be more formal and proper but somewhere along the way decided that "ya'll" is...

    Well, yes, I do have a lot on my mind! I'm putting together a storyboard on isolation precautions. Apparently "enteric" or "contact-plus" has fallen out of favor and the CDC says that using hand...

    As I generally expected, there was one muffin left when I got home last night. Everyone liked them, though Hubs says he would prefer "just banana" -- forget the blueberries. Funny, because I was...
