week in review

things that happened this week:

a patient asked me why a beautiful girl like me didn't have a ring on my finger,

that he had a thing for girls with dark hair and blue eyes. 

and told me he wanted to take me to olive garden for our fist date. 

at first it was flattering then i just felt awkward. as i went into his room

less and less as my twelve hour shift went by,

i finally told him that i had a kinda boyfriend.

 ha ha which is totally not even close to the truth but it

still didn't stop his antics.

luckily, i had a patient that was headed towards getting transfered

 to the icu right at shift change so we didn't

give bed side report in his room.

and he was discharged after i came back to

work after two days off.

another patient told me i looked like an actress.

she is an extremely stable trache patient but with out a speak valve

and is able to communicate just fine through mouthing words.

it wasn't until later in the day that i finally

understood who she thought i looked like.

liza minelli! really? um, thanks.

haha, she was the sweetest patient so i know she meant

it as a compliment but yeah, i totally don't see it.  

i have three more shifts in orientation! scary.

i can't believe that nine weeks has gone by!

some days are still rough but overall

it is so much better then my previous nursing orientation.
