Set up - like a bowling pin. Knocked down - it gets to wearing thin

Big kudos to you for doing what you do.

Do something nice for yourself!

To quote AC/DC, tonight I'm going "back in the ring, to take another swing..." metaphorically speaking since, of course, we're the ones getting swung at but you get the point.

Cause you know that "too much of everything is just enough".

We gonna start a Garcia/Hunter lyrics you can use in daily conversation thread?

Been there ... and will find myself there again, no doubt.

Recharge, blow off steam, count your blessings ...

I'll throw in some other lyrics:

"I'm at a place called vertigo ... it's everything I wish I didn't know"

or

"Mama always told me not to look into the sights of the sun ... but Mama, that's where the fun is."

I wasn't aware there was any 'tude copping going on here.

Ahh, but "are you kind?"

As long as you told your side of the situation in a professional way…. and there is still a problem, I would Privately speak with this person to see if you can possible come to an understanding. This way, when working the same shift… there will be less tension!!! Good Luck!!!

I wasn't aware there was any 'tude copping going on here.

though I sometimes get flamed or singed by folks who don't have the experience to justify an opinion on certain matters

the "tude-ing" refers more to some interactions with a few nurses from other units who, I think, would change their tunes in seconds flat if they walked a mile in my Merrells.

Song in my Heart, I'd love to hear about how you got into the ED. I am going to graduate in May '14 with ADN. I am 49 years old. I'm extremely interested in the ED. Not sure if this is the best place, but couldn't seem to send you a message. Thanks, farmbeachcity

This is the Grateful Dead in the ED thread, right? ::looking around::

"We finished all of yours and broke into mine".
