This week, I learned..... (6/6/15)

This week, I learned...

1. Camming is way more fun than $120,000 in student loans for nursing school.

2. Smoking pot before a job interview is totally acceptable.

3. Cocaine is a hell of a drug.... (...that gives you renal failure, heart failure and cardiomegaly)

4. If you tell someone you need to get deer ticks off of testicles, you will have an audience.

5. Night shift. Glorious, glorious night shift. I haven't slept in days, but I got to actually do a good, thorough job changing a bandage and OMG.... I taught people actual STUFF. I miss night shift.

6. I keep forgetting I'm old enough now that doctors can and will be younger than me. It's okay, though, because I look younger than them.

7. Literally every person could end every post with "wait 24 hours before you do the PVT, and people will still brag about their good pop up and offer advice on how to pass.

8. People are actually able to spend $120,000 on nursing school. This girl said $20,000 per semester. I'm pretty sure she says BSN. I'm not sure if she realizes her math is off. But still.... It's crazy.

9. I'm nearing a breaking point on some personal life stuff and confess I've secretly been glad to escape it to go to work.

Did you learn anything worth sharing?

I have learned what "camming" is.

I haven't. Unless you meant the post about working camming through nursing school.....

I just spent 4 weeks home recovering after a surgery. OMG I thought I was going insane after the first week. By the end of the 2nd I wasnt sure my other half would be alive going into the 3rd week and by the 4th week I was no longer wondering why some animals eat their young....I KNEW WHY!!!

~~ahhh I love my job.

I had a patient with an inverted member. Maybe this will help... I made a peace sign with my fingers, placed them on either side of where his member should be, and pressed in, causing it to... uninvert? Revert? Exvert? Pop out like a whack a mole. Then I grabbed it and held on tight to keep it from inverting again while I inserted the cath.***************
