We All Put on Our Shoes the Same Way.

Hello again. I'm limited time b/c Saving Grace comes on next!!

If you are unaware, the Top 100 One Hit Wonders came on VH1 for like 3 dys in a row. J & I were watching it singing our little hearts out. "Don't worry, be happy" came on. I exclaim how much I love Bob Marley! Bob Marley doesn't sing that song :(

Saturday clinical 7-7- ew. Pediatric Rotation. I guess I'm spoiled by my unit because it's more acute care and 1-on-1. I'm not impressed by the floor I'm on for 12 hrs! You know, I'm about to graduate come August (HOPEFULLY!), & everyday I'm asked if I know how to make a bed or something ridiculous like that. It was just a annoying day, & I way to easily became cranky. I had to use my nursing judgment and turn the suction from Full Vacuum to Low-Medium. After doing so, the nurse I was with said it was okay for the suctioning to be on the HIGHEST! No, as a matter of fact, it is not okay. I double checked my resources & knowledge of other nurses. Then, after shift change, I have the nurse send me in a room to do all the IV settings/changes. Excuse me, I do not have a license & am not able to change any settings on my own. I hated to be such a Negative Nancy, but I was ready to throw the towel in. I did realize that it's much more difficult to change a dressing using sterile procedure on a baby much more than an adult, though.

It's 2009, & we're all different trying to test our limits. Who can stand out the most? Who can defy others? Reality is history repeats itself, so don't think you're doing anything new (for the most part!) I heard someone say the other day that "Everyone who goes to church is a hypocrite". I see where this is coming from- we all sin, we all do things we're not supposed to, & come together in this religious setting. Again, reality is that we all sin, & God is aware of this; otherwise there wouldn't be as much pain, suffering, & tests in this world in which we live in. This person went on to give an example: "She says she can do anything through Christ, but she still gets beaten by her alcoholic husband." Call me crazy, but from my perspective, this abused wife goes to church & prays. For all we know, she's praying to have the strength to leave. In no way does her getting abused & going to church make her a hypocrite. I've never been in the experience of being beaten, but I know that praying is a key. I'm not trying to be all "Our God & you should go to church." However, I do know that I would not be alive right now without a God & finding my cancer in the nick of time. My parents would not be alive from stupid attempts. My sister wouldn't be able to do all the things she does. I don't attend mass every Sunday, but I'm more spiritual than most.

What else can we be serious about?? Ahhh, I'll save it for another day. Would hate to overload you guys! Have a greaaaaaaat week!

29 Days until my 5th semester of Nursing school!!! YAYAY!
