1.2.7.9

And don’t even get me started on this. 

Or this…

Need a cold/hot pack? No problem. 

Got mauled by a bear? No worries. 

Who doesn’t love tongue depressors? 

Tape, anyone? 

I went to school with a lot of people who became nurses and I have a lot of respect for them. Right after she got out of nursing school, this one girl had gotten a job at a nursing home. Later, she got a job at an area hospital. I can recall her posting about a few months into her job that one of her favorite patients died at the nursing home and she witnessed them taking their final breaths. It bothered her so much because I can remember her posting about it on Facebook. Mind you all, she didn’t post who they were. All she said was, “I lost my first patient today.” Comments of support came flooding in from other fellow nurses and nurses who has been in the profession for years.

CPR started. Pt intubated. Get pulses back

Co-Nurse turns to me and says “Do you have some essential oils we can try?”

I look at her in disbelief

She laughs hysterically  

I laugh

The patient laughs….. JK 

yes, sometimes it’s taking a warm bath and texting memes to friends and keeping an aesthetically pretty journal.

sometimes it’s crying silently on your couch at 3am, hugging yourself and reminding yourself that you’re a good person.
