Onwards and upwards

Well I passed my essay YAY! What is cool though is it means I can do all sorts of new things and look after the very sickest of the sick patients. Like this PRISMA machine for renal replacement therapy. Or a PICCO which is awesome because I know exactly what my patients systemic vascular resistance is without having to make a rough guess based on how cool thier toes are!!!! I have a 5 year plan to be a clinical coordinator of the unit, or even better a nurse consultant to the wards. I love my job!

Night Shift Bliss

Well, I've just finished my first 12 hour night this week. So after nearly 24 hours of awake time I am cuddling into my warm bed. Post night shift tiredness is the most amazing tiredness ever. The feeling of getting into bed is really so so so good its nearly worth doing nights for. I got so excited about my bed when I was walking to my car that I got butterflies in my tummy.

flat tires and leaky pipes

well today was a bit of an adventure. First I got a flat tire, just bang flap flap tire's dead. This happened conveniently close to the mall where I knew Mum and Jess were. So off to the side of the road I pulled and left it there till Andrew could come to my rescue.
After that I got home and found the hot tap turned off but still pouring out hot water- another job for Andrew. So now the boys are in the kitchen banging about with tools. Boys love tools I've noticed. I just dont quite get it. Andrew seems to get a tool for every birthday.
I wonder what I wouldvé done with a flat tire and leaky tap and no competent person to help me. What do old ladies do when this happens?? Would you call a plummer?? Would the plummer be amused at changing a washer??

welcome to my life

well here I am on the blogging bandwagon, much to my husbands delight I'm sure. Today is not much of an adventure. I'm in bed with the computer on my knee trying to bring myself to finish a case study I have been putting off for days. I have left just to reflect on my care of the post cardiac arrest patient. All I can think to say is "yup I kept him going". That wont fill my 3000 words. I have to find research that shows I did a good job.

I HATE academia.

I have though just had lunch with my Mum. That was fun. The man at the kebab place knows me now and asks me about my day everytime he sees me. Thats nice.
