On the anniversary of his death we remember Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., a brilliant orator and hero who dedicated his life to the fight for civil rights. Celebrate Dr. King’s legacy by learning how six bold women were influenced by his actions, driving change and making history in their own right.

Stuck gold

Just finished 3 nights in a row and I had such a genuinely lovely group of patients each night.  All of them were polite, understanding, grateful, and self-sufficient to the best of their current ability.

I’m never going to be able to get the sound or sight of this young woman crying while she holds her brain dead 40 year old husband out of my mind.

When you see your cardiac arrest patient WALK out of the hospital with his young kids holding his hands…just in time for Christmas

No breaks

and high stakes

shifts chalked full of headaches

Taking sass

and wiping ass

way too many meds to pass

Splatter poops

and facial droops

bed rest til your strength recoups

Wounds weep

and alarms beep

My sanity I try to keep

Ahhhh, an ode to nursing

Doing an assessment on an 80-ish little old lady.

“Do you use marijuana or any other recreational drugs?”

“No!  Of course not!”

“Haha, well, we have to ask everyone, because you never know, right?”

“Well, actually, I haven’t, but I’d like to.  Just to know what it’s like.  But I think it’s awfully expensive.  Do you know what marijuana costs?”

“…uh …that’s not really my department, ma’am.”

“I have a lot of friends who sell it.  But I’ve been too shy to ask them.  I should find out.  I’m not getting any younger, right?”

“None of us are, ma’am.”

So yeah, I think I accidentally convinced an elderly woman to start smoking weed.
