S'mores and Stethoscopes

S'mores in the summer... it doesn't get better than that! Seems like the past few weeks we've neglected doing stuff with friends, but we've been busy almost every night doing stuff with family! We are so lucky to have so much family just a few minutes away... we cant ever have a boring evening!
And what a better evening than by the fire with some s'mores?

Look at all our cute nieces and nephews! And we have 2 more on the way!

Ah, this is the good life!

ok I had to throw a shout out to all my fellow nurses since we had Nurse's day! First of all, being in Pediactric home health rocks, but I came across this message the other day that brought me back to clinicals and our times in the hospitals and nursing homes!

Bobbi and Tifani I hope you get a kick out of this!

You Know You're a Nurse When:

You rattle when you walk because of all your scissors and clamps in your pocket.

Every time someone asks you for a pen, you find at least three in your pocket.

You dont get excited about blood loss (unless its your own).

You have the bladder capacity of 5 People.

You've seen more "moons" than the Hubble Telescope.

You're mad that you cant cure stupid.

You hope there is a special place in hell for the inventor of the call light.

You were excited to get a B/P cuff for a gift.

You wash your hands BEFORE you go to bathroom.

You casually talk about body fluids and BM consistensies over lunch.

You have a mental list of Frequent Fliers.

You installed sanitizer dispensors in every doorway of your home.

People ask you, Who is Ted Hose?

You've seriously considered cathing yourself and your kids before a long car trip.

Your finger has been into more orifices than you'd care to remember.

You're patient finally had a BM and it made your day!

When asked what color the patients diarrhea is, you show them your shoes.

You arent bothered when a patient answers a question by vomiting on you.

If its wet, and not yours, wear gloves!

You have gloves in your purse right now.

You heed the Underwear theory when charting, cover your bum!

You've had a patient you refer to as NDBSB. (Not dead but should be)

A good lunch hour means you got it while it was still warm.

You understand nurse language, such as PERRLA, WDI, and AFO's intact.

When you suction your patients trach you say, Ah, nice and frothy.
You want DNR tattooed on your chest!

Well I got a kick outta this, as I bet Danna and anyone else who works with Drs and Patients. And to all you nurses, MAs, and even CNAs, remember you are important, because we are the ones that keep the physician from killing the patient. (:
