I know I've said it before but I love my job. I love the company I work for too. It's a great place to learn and grow as a nurse and as a person. So it's a mystery to me why our Float Team is almost nothing. I was on the float team for 2… Continue reading Float Me Some Help

One Is The Loneliest…..
So my co-worker, Jen, is on vacation for 2 weeks. I'm not jealous (okay maybe a little) but I am terrified. Our department is small and kind of unique (okay really out there!!) and we don't have a lot floats trained to help us. So really it's up to ME to keep this place up… Continue reading One Is The Loneliest…..

In my lovely State of Oregon we have a couple but the one I hate the most is PacificSource Community Solutions. THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT… Continue reading Power Be Gone

Penicillin testing, aspirin desensitization's, immunotherapy but the other part is getting to work with three great co-workers. One of which is Dr. Williams. My co-worker, Jen, and I love to… Continue reading Honesty The Best Medicine
Heinz 57 Nurse
Being a nurse was never something I had on my radar. I actually started college with every intention of becoming a Microbiologist. Who wouldn't want to study little microbes in a lab all day and discover something awesome?!!! However, when you become pregnant in the first year of college and the father's family is full… Continue reading Heinz 57 Nurse
