You know your a nurse when...

I complied this list from a couple of different websites.
They are hilarious, even if you're not a nurse.

You believe that all the patient needs is some vitamin A (ativan)


You do the "only-27-more-minutes-of-the-shift-from-hell happy dance"


You believe the more equipment you see on a nurses belt, the newer they are. (so true!)
 
You believe when dealing with patients, supervisors, or citizens, if it felt good saying it, it was the wrong thing to say.
 
You call burn victims "crispy critters" (that just sounds wrong!)
 
Your bladder expands roughly to same capacity as a Winnebago's water tank
 
You refer to someone in severe respiratory distress as a "Smurf"



You have your weekends off planned a year in advance (my boyfriend doesn't like that!)

Your idea of a good time is a Code Blue at shift change


You get an almost irresistible urge to stand and wolf down your food, even in the nicest restaurants
 
You believe a book entitled 'Suicide: Getting it Right the First Time' will be your next project.
 
You have encouraged obnoxious patients to sign out AMA (classic)
 
Your idea of a meal break is finishing your coffee before it gets cold
 
You can keep a straight face when a patient responds, "Just two beers."
 
You think that Prom tickets should have coupons good for one free gastric lavage.
 
Your reply to the pt who asks "have you ever done this before?" r(referring to starting an IV) is "I saw it done once on an episode of ER"
 
You can sleep soundly at the hospital cafeteria table during break, sitting up and not be embarrsased when you wake up.
 
That's all for now

27 Weeks Pregnancy Update

27 weeks today. Is this the third trimester or not?!? Some websites say it is, some says 28 is. So, I'm not too sure. Weight Gain:  33.3 lbs total. Only half a pound of away from what I gained with Jamyson and I still have 13 weeks left (waaaahhhh.....) I feel huge. I am huge! It's harder to walk and my feet hurt now, lol. Exercise:  I'm still walking but I cut back last week and only did 14.7 miles. I broke the 200 miles for the year for the "run the year 2017"! However, the more I walk, the more I eat and the more weight I gain (eek)! Cravings/Diet:  I've been craving lemon lime gatorade. Weird right?! It's delicious. I've also been getting reece's blasts from Sonic. They are so good! I threw in a cooke dough blizzard from dairy queen. That was delicious and not helping with my weight gain. Morning Sickness: Still no morning sickness but I'm still taking 2 diclegis every night. Sleep:  Didn't nap as much last week. Just didn...

Our Experience with Covid 19

I'm writing to share our experience with Covid-19. With the reopening of the lockdown, many new cases are flooding the world. My husband is the Regional Sales Manager at Century 21 Judge Fite in Rockwall. He has been in real estate for the past seven years. He is an amazing realtor and even better manager. I am very proud of him and I stand behind him no matter what. Saturday July 5th is started feeling ill after a work out. He had recently joined Legends Fit in Rockwall and started a program where he had to lose 25lbs or 6.9% body fat in 6 weeks and he would get a free membership for the year. After 3 weeks and a very strict diet and workout, he had lost close to 20 lbs and 5.3% body fat. He started running a fever Saturday afternoon and felt very fatigued. No real respiratory symptoms and his pulse ox never dropped below 98 percent. His heart rate was double his resting heart rate. He tested on Monday morning and received word Tuesday around 5:30pm that he was pos...

Ashton's Birth Story-VBAC

I started this last pregnancy journey with the goal of finishing my second VBAC. Here's the story (So that I never forget any of my children's birth, I have documented each one's stories)... Around 4pm on Thursday August 1, 2019, I went into the hospital. I was having irregular contractions, dilated to 2 cm and 50% effaced. I was 39 weeks and 3 days pregnant.  Here is a photo: I am almost 6 feet tall and had gained nearly 50 lbs. Most of which I gained in the first and second trimester. I continued to workout this whole pregnancy in hopes that my body would bounce back quicker. Time will tell. So, my doctor came in around 5:30pm and said he was going to do the foley cervical dilation balloon again since that worked with Elizabeth. So, they inserted the foley balloon which is extremely painful because I have a tilted cervix which apparently hides behind my spine. He tried to do it with a tool and ended up having to do it manually with his hands.  Then, I ...
