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.
I lost my mind and vented a little about personal things. Won't happen again.
No need to apologize, Ood. We all need to vent from time to time, and if you can't vent in here, where can you? Personally, my feeling is if someone says something I don't wish to read, I just let my finger go a-scrollin'. Been doing this a long time, long enough to understand that sometimes a week has two Mondays in it. Hope things are looking better (((Ood))).
Little ol' ladies are not always pleasant AND can have the strength of a bodybuilder and the vocabulary of a sailor!
I learned this on my very first home health case. Let's just say the agency made her case look a lot less challenging than what I ended up encountering when I got there. After going home not after one, but two 12 hour shifts with scratches and bruises on me looking like I just left a bar brawl and not working as a nurse I politely declined future shifts with this case. The agency was actually surprised and didn't understand why they had trouble staffing the case.

I've learned that Ood is a hot mess this week.
