| Brought a patient down to the OR last night for the very first time. The entire night I was really nervous about forgetting certain labs or paperwork. About 30 mins before the OR sent someone up for my patient, I realized that I had forgotten to fill out the pre-op checklist....I freaked out and grabbed one and quickly filled it out. When it was time to wheel my patient down to the OR, my heart started racing. I swear that my heart was in A-flutter at the time. Once we got to the OR, the nurse and anesthesiologist started asking me questions about my patient...of course I knew the answers but I was so nervous that I stuttered while replying. I swear they probably thought I was an idiot.
Anesthesiologist: "does she have blood ready"
Me: "Huh?"
A: "Does she have a brid band"
Me: "OH! yes, she was type and cross yesterday"
A: "Great!"
***I must of seemed like such an idiot***

| Seriously sometimes I feel like I have a state of depression...well more like I'm bipolar or something. There are times when I feel so energized...and excited bout things...then the next moment I'm depressed. Ok maybe not as extreme as bipolar...but seriously, why am I depressed again. I know the answer...but somehow I can't resolve it...maybe thats why I'm so depressed.....*sighz*

| Depressed all of a sudden. Could it be due to the fact that I have so much homework to do? Seriously all of a sudden, this depressed feeling all of a sudden came over me and I don't know why. *Sighz*

Please take a look at this car in displayed. This car tried to run me off the freaking road this evening. Good thing I had my phone on me and there was a red light. If you are the owner of this car...can you please tell me why the hell you don't look or signal when trying to cut in front of me and therefore almost running me off the freaking road?! If you were trying to kill yourself...go ahead...but don't freaking take me down with you! And for all other readers...please take note of the license plate YGP-2642, VA TAGS....GMC YUKON XL. I don't know where you were headed, but you would think you would learn after nearly side swiping me that you would either 1) slow the F*CK down or 2) LOOK before you decide that you want to switch lanes without signaling! It's a shame that you sped off so quickly before I got to take a picture of you!

| Sometimes individuals can feel so powerless when it comes to disasters. Take what happened with the Typhoon that hit Taiwan just recently. So many people lost their homes, belongings, loved ones...and even their lives. Times like these makes me aware of how thankful I should be with the things I have. When I saw the news I wanted to help do something...going over there and helping with the efforts are not feasible, sometimes I wish it was so I can actually feel like I'm helping them in a way.
As a nurse you see so many people come and leave the unit. Some get well and walk away...others just spend their last days there. I've been a nurse for a year now on the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit and I've seen one too many deaths already. I see how fragile our lives can be. There are many things in live that we can decide upon, when to eat, where to live, what to wear, and what friends to be around....but many of us don't get to choose when or how we die. What frustrates me the most as a nurse...especially a pediatric nurse...is having these children, when i say children I also include teens, come in because they tried to kill themselves. I'm not saying life is easy...but how hard can it be when you're 15? I feel like a majority of these teens are seeking attention in all the wrong ways. They don't understand that there's no reset button when it comes the the game of life. You can't just pack up and say let's start over. Yet over and over again I see these teens come in due to one reason or another and figure that the only way is to commit suicide. I was a teen once...but yet I still don't understand them. To put their lives into perspective they should live in someone else's shoes for a while...ship them off to 3rd world countries and have them volunteer their time, then hopefully they can see that there is so much more to life then their own little world. If only that can work...
On a lighter note...I'm happy to announce that I've sponsored 3 children.
Lukai, age 13 from China
Christian - 5 (Philippines)
Aylssa - 6 (Philippines)
I can't wait to get updates from them. It's the best feeling when I receive letters and photos from them. I hope one day I can find the time to visit them and actually have the opportunity to meet them in person. =) That's all for now...
