Oh, I'm sorry Sd & Tg, but the Mentalist is on (I am a few hours behind ya'all!) - so I'll be leaving soon.
I may be back, surfing with the tablet if I can find the forum on it!

I love The Mentalist Enjoy! I didn't watch it tonight but have my DVR set to record all episodes of it.

She may just be trying to forget them, LOL!
I worked in the cardiac ICU for a few years, then went back to school and got my masters in nurse anesthesia (the crna in my name stands for Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist). I've been an anesthetist for 10 years.

True about the ER!
Your job sounds great. You get to make the patients be quiet!!
I have a hard time being anesthetised (sp?). They usually have to give me a shot of something afterwards...
So I appreciate the skill!
OK, BBL
Lubs!!

Well, Sdh, I guess I'll go too I just started doing laundry (you know you are a night owl when you start laundry at 1am!) I'll see you tomorrow!

TG do you work full time? Your job is very interesting. I shadowed in a OR during my clinical and found it very interesting. My job I have to juggle 32 patients. I did agency work once upon a time and they made me take care of 50 patients. Unreal!

[Sdh]

Well guys I will head out as well. Goodnight all!

Yes, I work full time. I work nights and evenings. And 6 weeks of weekends in a row followed by 6 weeks of weekends off. My schedule is so varied that my husband never knows when I'm working without looking at my calendar, LOL. It is interesting work. And I only take care of one patient at a time. That is a real benefit. I wouldn't like having to take care of as many patients as you do. Just doesn't seem safe.

TG it is not safe. I worked for agency before and traveled around Milwaukee and surrounding areas. Its sad but I have to chart defensively due to my insecure feelings of the facility.
Goodnight TG I am falling asleep at the keyboard!

TG that would be a hard schedule to get use to.

Sorry still not on your schedule yet Pokey. Went to see daughter's play. It was a huge night for the Kids. The playwright was in town and met the group today and watched the show. Something that just doesn't happen and kids were psyched and just knocked it out of the park?.... theater. She also was judged a member of the Kennedy Center American College Theater Festival. Last year she and her partner were the first Freshmen to make it to the western US regionals in 6 years. (Proud Papa, I know )

Going ta miss tonight too. Headed to Monterey to see Furthur (the Dead) Whoo Hoo !!!

Congrats Wharf Rat, that is cool.

SD & TG my wife did NICU at Johns Hopkins, she still tears up when she thinks about babies she took care of and that was a long time ago. she did some floor nursing and office work but ended up as an IV therapist. She loved that and was really good at it. Then medical issues made it so she couldn't do it anymore. It took a lot out of her to leave the job she loved to do. Nurses are way undervalued in this country and way overworked.

In honor of Padre's Special Day , we are serving coffee via Keurig



In our special soccer coffee cups




I realize for us java junkies this single serve business is a bit of an inconvenience, but queue up and get over it. If I can you can -- after all, it's Pad's day, not ours!

Happy Turning Day, Pad!

Woot!
