Semester 2 final tomorrow and then back to the East Coast for a week and a half off. Then right back into things immediately after I get back. At least I should hopefully have a week of sleep.

Had a great couple of days so far. Not so busy that I had to rollerskate between patients doing stuff and busy enough that I didn't sit on my backside getting bored... and now off to dreamland.

Make that 3 generally nice days where I wasn't too busy... and I got to be a float nurse for about 4 hours. Nice to pop in to help others with their tasks without having too much responsibility for taking over all aspects of patient care. For the medics on here, be thankful you don't have to administer soap suds enemas...

When I think about going to nursing school down the road, this type of thing is one of my cons hahaha. On the other hand, I mind it a lot less when its a small child rather than 300+lb persons c diff laced diarrhea in every crease and crevice.

At least I'm smart enough to gown up/double glove when I administer any enemas to anyone. They can be a bit, well, messy... The last one wasn't too bad and gloves would have been OK but I'm not taking chances when the person is also very full of gas. That's a ticking poop bomb waiting to go off after priming with the enema.

That's the reason I'm going to med school and not nursing school.

If your nurses aren't authorized to do disimpaction, guess what? They won't do it. Guess who then gets to?

Well #1 the check engine light was on and was shaking while idling and at low speeds. We swapped into #2 and as soon as I got on the 10 it overheated.

After a week of packing, procrastinating, rolling around on the floor because we had the not-so-great idea of moving our beds last, making 15 trips to move our stuff over, drinking wine directly out of the bottle, and losing my car keys on three separate occasions- we are finally done moving.
