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?

Well that escalated quickly

This week, I learned:

1) I should've been a CRNA. I can't believe what they make compared to me, a RN.

2) My PICU residents don't know anything.

3) I love my pharmacist. He is hella smart and cool. He's made an ipHone app, called Ped eGFR and and a drug info website (Pillboxseries - Pillboxseries). Y'all should check it out!

Specializes in HH, Peds, Rehab, Clinical.

I learned that I clearly don't spend as much time on AN as most other members!!! Only about 10% of what's in this thread have I actually read for myself in the original thread!

Specializes in critical care.

Probably for the better. This place has been weird the last few weeks.

I've started a new week (a day late). Feel free to join me there. https://allnurses.com/general-nursing-discussion/this-week-i-995274.html
