Dang

A pic of me and a job description

I recently found on a

webpage somewheres

1. Job Duties
• ICU nurses administer medications, sometimes by injection or intravenously. They perform skilled nursing procedures such as changing dressings and inserting urinary catheters. Intensive care nurses also educate patients and family members and provide emotional support to them. Since many critically ill patients are unable to participate much in their own care, family member involvement can be especially important. 

Why didn't they ask one of us what the heck we do before writing this junk up???

Insomnia

Damn it, I am awake again at the wrong time. It's 4 a.m. somewhere in the Pacific NorthWest and here I am listening to the clock tick away. Most "normal" people I am sure are sound asleep in their beds or couches or cars or campers or tents put up in some faraway unpatrolled homelessland. Of course, there are a few oddities among the normal people: some are awake abnormally just as myself, some may be studying for a class or still unwinding their day, while others are hard going at their occupation just as I would be without this night off. But here I am, abnormal, awake in my bed, wondering why would anyone read this blog. I'm a rapidly aging ICU nurse working the twelve hour night shift looking forward to easing my way out quietly…but wait!!!!!…
