Esme is a loving person with a lot of wisdom and a lot of tact. She is also one heck of a nurse. She is the glue of this site.

This site for the never ending entertainment! My adult son inherited my work ethic.

My FT job allows me summers off to work my part-time job which allows me to do the fun things in life, like travel!

That Esme is back!!!!

The inadvertent humor in the email I just received from my supervisor, letting me know that she had faxed me a form that I needed to finish an admit.

I had sent her the original request in April. *sigh*

Today I am thankful that my family didn't boot my butt out onto the street when I was in nursing school and studying for NCLEX. They were actually proud of me and put up with all my shhhhtuff.

Today I am thankful that I have to apologize to my recently-appointed "lucky shirt." You see, I thought it hadn't done its job properly so I yelled at it. A lot. It turned out it had done its job because I really did pass NCLEX. Oops. My bad.

Today I am thankful that as a new grad, I will be starting a residency program in August.

Today I am thankful that I will be driving down next week to bring my daughter home from college, and that she'll be here a whole month. I miss her.

I'm going to go ahead and revive being thankful for the functioning rectum. It's not something I had ever considered being actively thankful for until I read this thread.

While I'm at it, I am thankful for this thread. It's been a bright spot in the midst of a lot of negativity I've seen elsewhere.

Today I am thankful that bohemian braids are back in. I don't want to spend that time in front of the mirror anyway.

Braids also help me avoid LICE...

Today is my son's 3rd birthday, and I am thankful for him. I am thankful for the friends I am making here. He is largely non-verbal and I'm having a hard time with it today, but he's giving me cuddles (not willingly but I'm getting them anyways.)
