Bad nurses

I had the misfortune of seeing first hand that some people are not meant to be nurses. I unfortunately had a run in with one of them and opened my mouth when I shouldn't have. I hope I don't get kicked out of school. I guess I'll find out tomorrow. Please keep your fingers crossed for me.

Isis and The Monster

My babies!! I'm sure they have felt neglected since I started nursing school. :(

Elevator issues

Angela and I got stuck in an elevator today. Yea... it was user error. Not one of our finer moments. At least we have Thursday off for Thanksgiving. We need a break!

Volunteering?

I have to be in downtown Kansas City by 7 am tomorrow for our (forced) "volunteer" project. It is going to be cold. And I should be studying instead. At least Luke will be there!

My favorite clown

My patient today has been a clown his whole life. He is one of the sweetest people I have ever met. And he was just given six months to live.  I am gutted. I can't stop crying. There was nothing I could say to take his pain away.  I don't want to do this anymore.  Maybe I'm not strong enough to be a nurse.

Don't judge a patient by their chart

I was dreading clinicals today after reading my patient's chart-- he had so many complicated conditions. But he ended up being a wonderful patient and I learned a lot from him. Lesson learned!
