Should You Look Into a Nursing Career?

Nurse assistants on the job. Thanks to this website for the image.

Many people are out of work across North America right now. It’s no surprise, either – the economy’s in the toilet, and Wall Street is pocketing our tax dollars. So the natural response for many people is to consider changing careers, and one of the most rapidly expanding fields in North America is (surprisingly to some people) is the field of healthcare – specifically, nursing. Registered nurse Shauna Jackson is a vocal member of the healthcare community when it comes to advocating the role of nurses in the healthcare system, and as you can see from her website, she is an authority on a wide range of nursing and healthcare employment-related topics, from jobs in Maryland to international travel nursing companies, and everything in between. As surprising as it may seem, registered nurses – and the more educated and experienced advanced practice registered nurses (hell, even certified nurse assistants) – command [...]

Come on…Let me just Put it in…

la la la Day day day.. what a day. Hope called me this morning crying about her leaving Chris and blah blah but I was butt ass tired so I just asked her ‘Is this an April Fools’ joke?” which it was.. K and Hope and I went up to the shop to bring the guys dinner and K decided to move her husband’s truck. The truck is his baby. So when he called her cell tonight right after work flipping out it was pretty funny. I wish I could have seen his face. Today was MandaPanda’s birthday. We spoiled her rotton and we’re taking her for the pedicure/manicure thing next week. I got most of my work done today. I just have to upload everything for peeps. BlogExplosion however pissed me off. I must have gotten about 50 people who submitted “April Fools Sites”. Of course I wouldn’t approve [...]

Clean Up

Today was an incredibly long long day. I didn’t get to bed until 5 am Thursday morning and woke up at 11 to throw the turkey in the oven. That damn thing basted and roasted and heated up the entire house for about 4 hours then Gary and I headed over to Hope and Chris’s house (right across the street practically). There wasn’t too many people there (9 adults and 3 kids) so we stayed for about 6 hours and had a really good time. I’m so freakin tired now though it isn’t funny. I was pretty bummed that we couldn’t go to CA to visit Gary’s brother’s family for Thanksgiving. The AF just couldn’t give up the leave. Of course I find out tonight that some punk in his shop pulled the ‘pity me’ shit and got leave for the weekend to go to Texas. I’m trying not to [...]

Day 2

I can get used to this. He’s not annoying me, I’m just going to have to adjust. I’m not used to having him around during the days. So, I got up around 9 today and closed the bedroom door so he could sleep some more. I took Sammy and Noki with me because they’re relentless. I fed them early so HER ENDLESS meowing wouldn’t wake Gary up. Then it started. Sammy had cattitude. There was meowing. There was hissing. There were furballs flying. They were running from one side of the house to the other.. massive giant catballs of claws and fur. I had enough so I snatched up Sammy and tossed him in the room with Gary to separate them. Turns out it WASN’T Sammy with the cattitude it was Noki. She was at the bedroom door with as much of her paw that she could shove under it. [...]

Where did Sunday Go?

I swear… when I said I was turning it into a working weekend I didn’t realize exactly WHAT that meant. I finished one project. Finished ANOTHER one that I said I wouldn’t even start until tomorrow. GO ME! I can’t really post any screenshots until I get final ‘approval’ from my wonderful clients.. Tomorrow Gary starts swing shift.. yay! That means we don’t have to go to bed at like 8pm tonight. That means he doesn’t have to get up at 5am. That means we can sleep in until about 9 run some errands.. get some work done.. he heads off to work around 2:30 and I have all night to bug Cherry and work… and exercise… I saw this somewhere. Of everything in your wardrobe what do you feel the most comfortable wearing? Why? My ‘exercise’ pants.. blue with white stripes down the side.. very cotton.. very comfy.. very [...]
