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?
It seems to be fairly new terminology.Back in the day, the entire body of students enrolled in school with you were the "Nursing class of 19__". The students in the same rotation as you were your "Clinical group".
Guess "cohort" just sounds cooler.
It sounds totally cooler and I'm a bad ass so imma roll with it. :)
So I've just now (literally this minute) realized that the show naked and afraid literally means naked. I thought it was like.... Some kind of maybe raw foods thing??? Idk. Definitely didn't take it literally.
Eta: my 7 year old just learned that they blur out "front privates" and bleep out words. That's how sheltered my little people are. lol
I'm on vacay and I've had a bit too much beer. :) Don't mind me.
That I had (what felt to me) a very good interview for a periop RN position. Oh I hope, I hope, I hope!!
And Farawyn, though I am not there yet, I understand the thought of having your Big Boy go off to school ((HUGS)). My kiddo told me that he was glad that he has a mom who really "gets him", and I swear I almost teared up thinking, "But I only have you 2 more years". But this is as it is supposed to be, right? It's suckish, but the wheel continues to turn.

I think every new mother should receive a copy of "Love You Forever".
No matter how big they get, how successful they are, even when they're married with their own families, they're still your baby.
P.S. Good luck with the interview!!
