Oh My Goodness – I never realized just how true this round-about was! The old-folks kicked my ARSE, they did this weekend! So, when a 70+ year old Alzheimer patient tells you they ‘have to pee’ – well, you’re there to help them out. Little did I realize (at the time), he’s in a brief …

Holy Cow! I am coming out the rainbow-unicorn-end of the URI CRUD that has been plaguing my county forEVER! I have a new appreciation for anyone that has a headache – or any pain – that ibuprofen cannot conquer (or at least TOUCH!) … My saving grace? I take diphenhydramine (Benadryl) just about every day. …

The way that a third-shift nurse, mom, MAGICIAN feels when she crosses that marathon work-tour finish line with all pieces successfully juggled/managed. Sure … at the final 20 minute push-point, it meant maintaining a 1:1 behavior-medicine watch, while acclimating a new team member, triage-assessing/documenting on our next cardiac patient AND greeting/briefing day shift staff … So, …

Holiday weekends sure are busy! But overall good! I have highlights: We have puppies! (Of course it meant a long sleepless period … but look at those faces!!!) Momma Izz (Isabella) is doing great, eating and sleeping like a champ and her pups are growing before my eyes. (And, we will catch up on sleep …

It’s that time of year again. Time to take online classes, complete re-certs and attend meetings. [I’m so glad I am making more wine!] One such class is the NRP. A great class, but it has me thinking about all the steps involved with officially delivering a baby in the Emergency Department. There are about …

We got to actually save a life this past weekend. He was much too young and totally didn’t understand that his heart was NOT supposed to do THAT! But it’s all good now, and our team did what was needed. Pretty cool stuff! And, I had dinner with the (grade school) girls this week. Always …

WWU: I got sick – at work. For a minute there, I thought maybe DH was trying to take advantage of my food allergies (umm, poison me! – But ya know, my life insurance policy stinks, and I’m not quite THAT paranoid); so maybe it was … – actual food poisoning; – salad overdose; – …

WWU: Point taken, Oh-Great-One! I live and work in a podunk, rural community. I take that for granted. The fact that, as an ER nurse in my ‘lil county – we don’t often see or care for ‘SICK’ kids. The ones that your heart breaks for … because they’re fighting metastatic cancer. It’s such a …

WWU: A study in contrasts. All I can say is this – I had the pleasure of caring for “Satan’s Bride” (NO amount of pillow fluffing was satisfactory) AND the stoic “Farmer’s Wife” [… Sure – I’m SICK, but I’m not dead yet – so, it must be okay (in other words – this patient …
