LOL!

not so funny

No, probably not.

spouse is irritating

Yes, gathered.

it's icy out so I'm trapped

no one here knows how to drive on snow or ice

Ah, that's at least a talent I posess.

sigh

I can drive on it too, but I cannot trust all the WA morons

Well, of course, there's that.

So, how's that relaxing time off working?

haha sucking

let's I was talked to because I gave my 17yo some attitude back today

Yeah, it didn't sound like it was great...

spouse got home at 2pm

That's not a bad thing to do. Is it?

I'm not feeling so hot, but taking a walk is seriously dangerous on ice

Are you still a little sick?

spouse should work till 6

or 10

o

we get ice so rarely

whine whine whine

it was really sunny today, hurt my eyes

Yeah, it can really do that. Do you expect the snow to stay on the ground there?

I'm such a baby, I need my trip to B&N

supposed to another storm by thursday

Those are always good trips. Yikes, isn''t a lot of snow odd where you are? Or maybe I don't understand where you are.

normally 2-3 inches a year and is wet not frozen, way cold snap here for a week

the main roads are ok sode roads total ice and morons

I thought. It's a lot colder than normal here, too.

sucks huh?

I am literally trapped by 2 inches of road ice

it did not get warm enough to melt today!

I hope it does tomorrow!

doesn't look likr it.......it would be nice

It would, so you would be untrapped!

yes

Are you reading?

not really, I need more

read the stroke book

and the Clara Barton Bio

The end of the stroke book was a little cheesy, I thought, I like the rest, though.

a little cheesy new agey

I did appreciate the view from the other side of the bed

it's how I treat patients

I thought it was interesting too. Not a lot of reports from that side of the bed in that situation.

the way she was affected by negative energy is something nursing diagnoses address

I fogire what we see as dementia could see us nurses the same way

That is absolutely possible.

I have noticed older patients really appreciated being treated as adlts and with dignity

I will treat all my patients that way

no baby talk, noi yelling, no assumptions

be pretty funny if I end up in gerontologoly

It would be. I think people there are more capable on the inside than they appear on the outside sometimes.

I just don't get folks who treat anyone over 70 as a child

Or anyone that speaks a foreign language...

same with psych patients, they understand much more than they are given credit for

I have always thought that was true. A lot of it is in-out translation issues.

well culture language issues may be the hardest oatients for me

since so many people here are immingrants that do not speak english well

In many ways it's the same issue - translation, otherness, etc.

I think that one woman is my class resigned

wussy

Were her grades bad? Or was it just the pressure.

she disliked confrontation and admitted she wasn't a fighter, if you cannot fight for yourself you will not fight for your patients

unlike some of us who'll fight like hell

no doctor fear here

when I go back I will make sure the nurses know my name

I'll be a pest, can I help you? do you need some help? can I watch? yadda yadda yadda

< nod, nod > That makes sense, or at least partially.

I will ignore the snooty attitudes

evil birch queen may not like me but she will have no reason to question my abilities

bitch

birch bwahahahaha

In the long run, that's what counts.

not letting the small mean minded one stop me

I refuse to fail

You are very unlikely to fail.

besides spouse needs to be shown as well

That is probably correct, although I don't know that it will help...

what will not help...making spouse eat his words? goves me extra motivations

Might help you, of course. I'm not sure it will "help" him.

nothing will help the relationship at this point

Maybe if he saw you as more equal it would help.

unless I turn into Barbie~NOT LIKELY

That's a bad image...

me as Barbie?

Yes.

did you know the mortality of the plague was 85%?

you sleeping or talking to too many peeps?

I actually thought it was a little higher.

I may be slowing down.

15% survivability

maybe you need rest

What would the death rate have been for the 1910 pandemic if it had happened in the Middle Ages?

Rest? Que?

Did you see that I had commented on your blog?

maybe I'll catch you more rested tomorrow

Part of your perception is the lag in the system tonight. Responses are not being processed as quickly as usual.

You seem a lot slower than you, too.
