Yay staffing matrixes?

Nurses arrived in France on D-Day and promptly went to work. On June 12, 1944 the Thirty-ninth Field Hospital moved out for France and arrived on Omaha Beach on June 15. There they tended to the would newrly non stop. Along with the nurses on the ground, ten squadrons of MAES (Medical Air Evacuation Squadron) also arrived in England in July 1943 and were waiting for the invasion of D-Day to begin. The 806 MAES were the ones to establish a pattern of activity for all future squadrons in England. They staffed sick quarters, presented plane loading demonstrations, gave lectures to soldiers in training at the American School Center at Shrivenham, and continued their training they received at Bowman Field all in preparation for the D-Day invasion. On June 6 they watched as planes left the airstrip in England and head for France. They spent the next several days waiting and wondering when they would begin to evacuate wounded out of France. The 816 MAES were the first to be called in for air evacuation, the first to make the flight out of the beaches of Normandy. The weeks and months following the D-Day invasion saw flight nurses making two to three missions daily. In the month of June alone they evacuated over 4,000 patients out of France to England. In July they evacuated over 6,000 and in August over 9,000 were transported out of France.

WHAT’S IN NURSE GIF’S BAG?

So I thought I would make this post because my bag has helped me survive night shift/nursing in general. I bought this cosmetics bag at Target, it was a little expensive but I’m sure you could find a similar one for cheaper. I put it in my nursing bag and bring it to work every night.

So what’s in it?

It has three sections - 

1. Medications - I get tension headaches so I added Excedrin. You could keep Benadryl, Advil, Tylenol, Prevacid, etc. Just get the small bottles.

2. Boxes - BandAids have been so useful. I slam my hand on things or snag my arm on the door all the time. Midol for obvious reasons. Don’t laugh at the Imodium, I literally saved a preceptor one time because she got suddenly sick with diarrhea and pharmacy didn’t have any medications they could give her.  I also keep assorted packs of meds like my Claritin. I put my feminine products in this compartment. These flossers are also a life saver. After I eat lunch I feel like I have food in my teeth, so these babies are the bomb.

3. Hygiene - Mints for after lunch breath, chapstick for every reason ever, makeup remover/facial cleanser wipes (you never know when you will get something nasty on your face), hand moisturizer, dry shampoo, deodorant. I also have a small contact case and contact solution for contact emergencies. On the other side of this middle pocket I have a couple of small bills ($5 and $1) just in case I forget my card and need food.

Other things you could add - nail file, small toothbrush and toothpaste, extra hair ties, powder, hairspray, neosporin, hydrocortisone cream, etc, etc.

Funny how sex is an irresistible human urge when a man rapes a woman but when a woman gets pregnant and wants an abortion she should have been smarter and thought twice before having sex if she didn’t want a child
