Ok, AN, it's guilty pleasure time. What do you do that you know as a nurse you shouldn't? Chain smoke? Binge drink on the weekends? Lecture a patient on a healthy lifestyle then go home and slam down a whole mac-n-cheese pizza? Ride your kick-a** donorcycle to work? Do back flips on your trampoline while juggling swords?

Out with it!

-I struggle with a sweet tooth.

-I don't have a primary care provider still, it's been 4 years. I don't really care to, as I don't trust any doctor in the company I work for, and privacy laws for employees go out the window.

Beer. I love my beer.

Raise your Matilda if you're ready for the weekend.

Nothing I like better than a nice cold glass of Chardonnay...except another cold glass of Chardonnay!

Add some good cheese, gourmet crackers, and some fruit and I'm right there with you. What time should I show up?

I eat a lot of things that are bad for me, but I figure as long as I don't gorge myself, I'm not apologizing. I have cancer, and life expectancy isn't that great, so I'm not depriving myself.

And evening drinking after day shift.

And sometimes drinking on my days off.

My friend.

This reminds me of the scene from Groundhog Day when Bill Murray is eating pastries in the diner.

I will bring the wine and the cheese and feed you grapes and massage your feet. I need a designated driver though, because I need to get home and let the dog out, and I will be wasted...

My thing? Camming, of course.

I don't smoke or do drugs.

I drink. Wine, beer, and the seldom Fluffy Occasion Girly Drinks (if there is an Occasion)

I don't have appropriate or healthy outlets for my angst.

I eat chips because they are CRUNCHY and LOUD and it feels good. I eat too fast.

I'm overdue on my GYN appointment.

Specializes in Ambulatory Care-Family Medicine.

I avoid PAP smears or any GYN exam like they are the plague. Idk what I'm going to do when I decide to have children 😁

I am slightly addicted to soda but I am cutting back.
