So....I'm stressed as fucking fuck. The deal is: 3rd induction is today. Today also happens to be my due date. The first 2 did not go well. The first induction I got 2 doses of the medicine that thins and prepares the body for labor. It made me contract. Not what they want. So I go home, not getting the third dose of the medicine. I'm scheduled for ( Read more... )

So...I have a question. Since I know the only people that are going to respond are probably Heather, Juliana and Ben, at least I know it won't be a tie. And live journal prominently displayed poll option on their front page, so I took advantage of it ( Read more... )

So, for those of you that are still on here, thanks for coming to Connor's birthday. We had a blast, even though he was a sickie ( Read more... )

So this is the end of the first week of Ben going back to get his Masters in English Literature, and the end of my first week of my BSN online at Grand Canyon University. It's pretty crazy ( Read more... )

So...I looked at available jobs today at St. Joes. They have 3 (count em, 3!) positions in their M/S/T ICU! Nights, but I don't care. I think in 2 years, after I finish my BSN, I will recheck and find any job over there that I can do and work my way up. I love my current job but I feel kinda "been there, done that". I need a challenge, otherwise I ( Read more... )

So...I started my job as a nurse. It's been fun and exciting. I *miss* the ICU so fucking much. I like the autonomy and ratios there. I like the level of understanding of pathology of disease and high detail of procedures ( Read more... )

I am so stressed ( Read more... )

I have two superficial wishes for my birthday today ( Read more... )
