Hey, not sure where you’re getting these from, but this one is WRONG. Armbands are wrong all the time, and it doesn’t get caught because no one bothers to verify what’s printed with what the patient says. The best way is to ask the patient for two identifying pieces of information - usually name and DOB, but in some places it’s name and SSN - and compare the patient’s answer to their armband.

I applied to two surgical nursing jobs yesterday at two different area hospitals. One of them I think I have a decent chance of getting an interview, at least. The other, at a same-day surgery center for kids, I just flat out don’t meet about half the requirements they’re looking for, but I think I’d be an excellent fit anyway.
Placing bets on how long it’ll take to get rejection emails. I say I’ll have one by tomorrow for the children’s hospital one.

Tonight at work I had a donor get angry at me and start chanting in another language. All I could think was I hope I don’t have to start singing everything.

This is awesome! But my first thought was still “the lines need to be adjusted”.

This is the title for my final paper in nursing school.  One of my final paragraphs, in its entirety, is:

As for the future trends in care, the magic 8 ball says “try again later.”

What senioritis?

I. LOVE. YOU. SO. MUCH.

The teacher promised to give them back if we bombed them, so we can re-do. Waiting to see if she thinks I’m funny or not.

Rewatching Heroes S1.

  • I had forgotten how incredibly creepy Claire’s relationship with her father (Mr Bennet) is. SO CREEPY.
  • (LOL forever at her leaving Peter to be arrested at the end of “Homecoming” tho.)
  • CLEA DUVALL. I love her so much!
  • Hey, remember that hot minute where Mohinder and Matt were raising Molly? I really wish that had lasted a little longer.
  • Oh man, how awesome is Micah? So awesome. (“Ugh, Jessica, just put my mom on the phone, ok?” Not to mention his power is the one I would most love to have.)
  • Peter Petrelli is a nurse! And Nathan bought him hideous shoes for a graduation present. FAMILY.
  • However, in general Peter and Nathan give Claire and Mr Bennet a run for their money in the  “creepy familial relationship” race.
  • I have a photo somewhere of Simone named “Heroes’ own Lois Lane” and man, I wish they’d gone that route with her.
  • Gabriel Grey, The Watchmaker’s Son - sounds like a fairytale escaped some other show and wound up on Heroes by mistake.

It’s a M-F-ing montage!

One of my theater professors used to say “if thiswere a movie…” when he’d get frustrated.  (DuringAnything Goes, when I was his SM, he had at least one theoretical movie per rehearsal.)

If my life were a movie, this would be the the derby training montage. And it would start with the second turn going around my building - it’s a deceptive decline, with a slightly less than 90* angle, and a truck that parks too far back and blocks part of the sidewalk.  In four laps today, I made it once, went into the inside grass once by accident and once on purpose, and one time missed turning completely so I had to jump the gutter and land on the grass island. FUN TIMES.

But it’s okay. Because I know that halfway through the montage, there’ll be the graduation/pinning scene (this will correspond to making the corner successfully four laps in a row). And then there will be the new job scene - that’s when I’ll get cocky and totally wipe out on the corner.  And then after that will come passing my evals - and making the corner backwards. :-)

Great tragedy.

None of my friends and family uderstand how excited I am to have inserted a Foley, fecal management system, and Dobhoff tube all on the same day. (NG tube was positioned correct on the first time, too!)

It’s all over but the crying.

No word yet on whether they’re tears of joy.

"Doctors in emergency rooms have no right to refuse to provide medical care to someone who overdosed on heroin, even though heroin is illegal and many people are morally opposed to its recreational use. They have to care for drunk drivers, even though driving drunk is both illegal and a pretty universally assy thing to do. Why, then, should a hospital be forced to bend over backwards to accommodate people’s religious beliefs surrounding abortion, a legal medical procedure protected by the Constitution?"
