I have just finished Session 3. Almost halfway done.  My Peds session will be here. (The picture must be on a race day of some sort.) It is considered one of the best children’s hospitals in the country and is nationally ranked in five different specialties. One of those is nephrology, and my assignment happens to be on the 12th floor which is - you guessed it - nephrology. That’s just a big word for stuff that relates to kidneys: renal transplants, UTIs, lupus, diabetes, hypertension, etc. (Official website) My Psych/Mental Health session will be here. The architecture is straight out of a horror movie. There are apparently several ghost stories involved. It is by all accounts a pretty creepy place.

Imagine all your grades are essentially dependent on roughly 4 tests per semester, no quizzes or homework grades. Now imagine that your classes happen so fast that you must take 3 such tests every single week. And that’s not to mention the all-or-nothing, pass/fail checkoffs. And if you make lower than a C in a single class, you fail out of the whole program. That is my life, along with 27 other very brave people. I have grown to love them rather dearly. This was at our last hospital orientation. We’re not the best at organizing pictures, but we’ll take care of you. [I’m at the very left of the back row, in the brown shirt.]

The next time some conspiracy theorist, “progressive thinking” day care mom tells you that vaccines are overrated, just think about this and laugh. And this data is 7 years old.  Don’t tell her she’s wrong, though. There is that upcoming problem with overpopulation, after all, am I right?

This was in one of my class Powerpoints. Looks kinda like Betty Draper. A really awful version of Betty Draper.  Like, Betty Draper of medical modeling hell.

An estimated 8% to 10% of RNs in the United States are chemically dependent.

(Willis, 2008)

In other words, 1 of out 10 nurses providing care for you at the hospital are probably addicts of some sort.

When I’m a nurse, this is what I’m going to do to deal with every single symptom. And I will have the best patient outcomes in the world.

So I thought my instructor at my Christian school just said “This needle is a bitch” but she really said “This needle has a beveled edge.” I’m disappointed.

I noticed this in our nursing majors’ lounge. Completely terrifying. We are red-eyed rats.

Things said in the first couple of days of class.

“An interesting fact about me is that I gave birth to my son in an elevator at the wrong hospital.”

“If you need a phone to be that accessible, you are either a doctor or a pimp.”

“I was a high school baseball coach and swore I would never do that again. Unless it was for an orphanage.”

“Something interesting about me is that I accidentally shot myself with a Glock .45 in Los Angeles.” 

These people are going to be great, I can feel it.

Nurse: He'd like to see Annie next.
Jeff: You know what? No. He'll see Jeff next!
Nurse: No, but you're not supposed to go --
Jeff: Or what, you'll do twice as much work as a doctor for half the pay? [Walks past her.]
Nurse: Thank you...?
Britta: Call it a compla-sult. Part compliment, part insult. He invented them. I coined the term. [beat] See what I just did there? That was an explana-brag.
