Blah... teenage boys

Anyone want an emotional 16 year old, spoiled, self entitled... breaks his Mom's heart type of kid? Comes with his own attitude problem.

Urgh! Why is it that some kids can throw around the word hate and its no big deal to them?

I am not liking the teenage boy phase as much as I used to.

More drama than the girl!

Puppy Update

3 weeks old and we have started feedings with solid mush and are going to start "potty"training too. Breeders say to section off areas of their environment so they learn to "crate" train without a crate so that they will house break easier.

So since we have gated them into my master bath and set up their bed for sleeping and the eating area is separate I think they will be able to learn. Aussies are very smart dogs!

Orientation

Is on the 13th... wow it seems like it was forever ago that I was writing just about the same title onto my blog...Could it really have only been Tuesday, January 6, 2009? Wow here we are coming up to 2011 and it feels like not much has changed, but it has. Its been nearly 1 year since I graduated nursing school ss an LPN. Wednesday, December 9, 2009

Revisting these posts has made me just about as excited as last time... except, I know how bad its going to be.

Nursing School starts again...

In 21 days school starts again. Not looking forward to the endless papers and the lack of any free time again. I must find an APA site, because let's face it, APA sucks and no one is as good at it as the professors require. Or is it just me? I am NOT looking forward to the rest of the general education classes they require, like crappy stats, but maybe taking some in person classes will be better. We shall see.

But the Journey through nursing school has started again and this time the end is RN with a BSN.

On the work front I start day shift tomorrow.

Puppy Update

Sometimes you just need to brag...

When your skills for seeing S/s & assessment can actually come together and you can actually see the subtle changes that signify a change in status and the doctor agrees with you & takes your suggestions & ......

It turns out you are right!



1.)The resident who suddenly thinks you are holding them hostage.

Nurse Christine: How about a UA C&S?
Doctor: Yes sure.
Result: UTI

2.)The poo that won't end.

Christine: Want a sample for c-dff? Can we start them on Flaygl just in case?
Doctor: Sure.
Result: C-diff

3.)The eye drop therapy that isn't working on its third course with Gentamycin and seems to be in fact getting worse.

Christine: Can we get some Cipro drops instead?
Doctor: Sure
Result: Eye infection clearing, swelling gone, and resident c/o 0 pain finally.


Wow... sometimes I really feel like I actually learned something in nursing school. Then I remember that, No, I actually learned it on the job! It's times like these that I think that I am doing more than babysitting and when I do get that RN... I will be able to handle and learn sooo much more.

WTF thoughts

So with the new company coming in my day position may disappear if the person who left for MDS is not allowed to stay. Of coure I haven't even started the day shift yet, other than extra coverage and at this point if it were not for Christmas money and wanting the OT money to add to my working the holiday money, I would have told them to take the extra shift and shove it. Of course I don't want to burn my bridges but they really know that I am NOT happy with the lack of communication regarding when or if my hours are going to change. Why can't they just hire people for the damn hours we need and not this crazy shuffle shit they have going on?

Ok so enough with the vent.

So anyway I totally want to keep the puppies. Well the boy puppies that is. The girl is spoken for and well one bitch in the family is enough. But my hubby is totally against it. But then again if no one wants them then of course they are staying with me. LOL Yeah hummm 7 dogs isn't that bad. Its not hording or anything. But they are just so damn cute.
