1. All work and no play for seven straight days makes ixchel a mean girl. I think I may owe some apologies when I go back to work.
2. A young person is capable of being hypoxic to anoxic for so long their brain swells before their heart stops. (Particularly when they've had a lifetime of ignored asthma exacerbation so to get used to chronic hypoxia.)
3. Regarding said person, I have many cuss words for the people who could have done more for her.
6. I love the pet therapy thread! (If you haven't seen it, go to my profile and see threads I've started. I think it's the one I started before this one.)
7. I'm attempting to go off caffeine. I'm an idiot.
8. I want to be an FBI agent. Mulder and Scully just make it look so damn cool.
9. Apparently, a wonderful perk of working for a hospital is a fast-acting employee health department. It's good to know my potential HIV and Hep status quickly after a needle stick.
10. Press Ganey did not ask questions I hoped they would ask on our survey.
11. I'm not okay with the waxing and waning of adequate staffing, especially when they have yet to actually "officially" change the staffing requirements for my unit to what they "officially changed it to" two years ago. NOT COOL. This is actually what led to number 1.
I've learned that I really have to hit up the Home Health Forum. Home Care is really a unique specialty, and I'm very wary of the amount of paperwork. I've been in computer class all week (Allscripts) It seems easy WHILE THE INSTRUCTOR IS THERE, but I'm sure I'll be a sniveling idiot when I am on my own.
