Random Thoughts

1. Sniffing plastic all day in Chem lab leads to a headache.

2. Next semester is going to suck. It involves Pharm 2, Med-Surg, and A&P I. **sigh**

3. Why do the semesters get harder? Shouldn't they get easier?

4. I'm officially $2000 a year BELOW the national poverty guidelines, yet I can't get more than $10 bucks in food stamps. How's that work?

5. I'm officially $2000 a year BELOW the national poverty guidelines and yet I'm actually contemplating quiting one job.

6. I think I may be just a little short of crazy for even THINKING about quiting a job.

7. This time last year I was roughly $13000 ABOVE the poverty level. lol

9. I know more about tetracycline, sulfa drugs, and penicillins then I ever thought possible. HECK I even know what an Aminoglycosin is.... well what it's used for anyway.

10. I actually figured out the percentage of water in a chemical compound today.... without help!

11. I've decided my favorite coping mechanism is Repression... or Denial. I'm not sure. Maybe I don't have a coping mechanism. lol

12. I told a solider in my line the other day "You heard the man, now MOVE IT SOLDIER... MOVE!!!" And he did. But not before he saluted me, and took off running.

13. Isn't it funny how things have a way of working out? I mean I never would of got into nursing if I hadn't lost my job. I wouldn't have went to school if I had found another job right away. I wouldn't of been able to afford school if I wouldn't have lost my job. (Because of the gov program that's paying losers like me to get an education) and I always said I wouldn't go into nursing because I wasn't smart enough to be a nurse, yet when I went to apply at school and see what I had the least amount of time to finish... Cardio Sonography or Radiology, they told me "NURSING" your pre-req's are already met. Then I realized that I wanted my RN not just my LPN so I needed to tack on classes each semester, but the trick is that they fill up quickly and they had to work with the set nursing schedule. Well somehow I've managed to get all my classes thus far. Case in point... today I realized it was already 24hrs into fall registration, the A&P class I need usually fills up within 2hrs of registration. Well we got on line and waaaah laaa the last class that had open seats was a MW class from 830am-11am. **UGH** So I took it and hoped it would work with the TBA nursing schedule. Well I came home and looked up my TBA nursing schedule and wouldn't you know it..... my classes are W from 12:30-5pm. Plus my clinical. See... it all works out.

14. Which leads me back to #6. Is it wrong to think the Lord will work out the financial situation. I mean He's done wonders already.

15. Perhaps that's a cop out excuse. (or coping mechanism.... lol)

16. Next semester I start CLINICALS.... do you even understand how stressed out and weird I feel about that? I mean I'm going to be wiping butts, and giving bed baths to old people in a nursing home. It's like babysitting for the elderly. AND come flu clinic time in October, I'll be the smiling face on the other end of that needle. Heaven help us all!!!

17. My final thought of the day is about the story my co-worker at the hospital told me. There was this baby born without eyelids. Apparently it was in the news. Anyway he had NO eyelids, so they had to take a part of his foreskin from his circumcision to fashion eyelids for him. Crazy huh? He's fine now.... just a little cock-eyed.







Was that to far???? These are the people I work with. No wonder I love my jobs!!!!!! Have a good week, I've got some major test tomorrow, so wish me luck!
