This week, I have learned....

1. Meth is a hell of a drug.

2. When meth is combined with cocaine and booze, it can destroy a 28 year old heart.

3. When you have one random patient across the unit from your other patients, and that patient is the only patient without psych issues, that poor patient is unfortunately going to be a bit neglected.

4. A discharge with EMS transport, ICU transfer and admission happening simultaneously (literally all less than 5 minutes apart from one another) 2 hours before you're supposed to be giving report means you'll be giving report before your last round of (very late) meds will be given.

5. Never been happier for vacation time. (Today is day 4/15.)

6. All play and no work makes ixchel a very happy girl. :)

That's all I got this week! Not much to learn when all I've been doing is playing! :)

What have you learned this week?

Specializes in ER, Med/Surg, Telemetry, Dialysis.

I keep a prescription of valtrex on me at all times, it is truly a miracle drug for me for cold sores! If i catch it in the tingle stage it never develops and if it has developed the valtex makes it go away very very quickly without going through all the blistery weepy scabby stages. It is awesome stuff!

Specializes in Oncology; medical specialty website.
That I am WAY too excited that having Xfinity On Demand means I can watch Sharknado 3. Any. Time. I. Want!!

Please tell me the shark got Ann. I know it's more likely that Ann made a meal out of the shark, but a girl can dream.

OMG!!! This is so cool!

I've learned that wine is a hell of a drug.

This week I learned that scheduling dentist appointments on the week before finals might take up study time. Also that getting four wisdom teeth out tomorrow will most likely take up even more study time. :(

I relearned the fact that I take up too much time on AN, but can't seem to stop! :D

Thanks ya'll for the laughs!

Delete the app. That way you won't get sucked in when you're driving to the mall, or inserting a Foley, or what have you.

I have managed to go three days without looking on AN before!

Omg I couldn't do that!

Specializes in geriatrics.

I learned that I don't mind statistics as much as thought I would. The online self study course works well for me.

Probably helps that I have already taken the course years earlier.

I learned that grad school applications are a full time job. However, I am determined to get accepted.
