Souter known as low-key, fierce defender of individual rights WASHINGTON (CNN) -- David who? was the initial reaction of Americans to a little-known judge from New Hampshire named in 1990 to sit on the nation's highest court. Even the nominee didn't know what to think when President George H...

Swine flu: an overrreaction or not getting the whole story?

Posted on May 01, 2009
At work we're supposed to have patients who are suspected of having swine flu (as well as everyone accompanying them) immediately put on a mask, then bring them right away into a designated room so they don't sit in the waiting room while waiting for their appointment...

It's a brand new day!

Posted on January 20, 2009
I had to see it for myself. I taped both CNN and CNBC. I'm not sure why.For some reason, the radio station we have at work in my little area acted like nothing was happening. And unfortunately I was so busy today that it wasn't until I went to go talk to one of the other nurses about something that I realized what was happening today...

At last...

today is the last day of the worst presidency in American history. Tomorrow, the first day of hope in a long, long time.My Con Law professor knows someone who took Con Law from Barack Obama when he was still teaching. One day, as an example of the greatness of this democracy, Obama said to his class "Hey, one day even I might be president!" The class' response? To laugh...

It's the waiting that gets you

Posted on January 05, 2009
I don't know about you, but I'm guessing you also have to wait for your grades to pop up on Campus Cruiser or some other kind of internet program. Back in undergrad we got the old-fashioned report cards. Although you had to wait seemingly forever for them, at least you got your grades all at once...

Oops, just one more thing...

Posted on January 03, 2009
It's been over 3 months since I last posted about my love life so I figured I'd fill you guys in. If you haven't already, read the post I just linked to so you know who I'm talking about. :) Anyway, I can't say enough about him! And not only did we make it through the month of November, but through my birthday and the holidays, too! I'm so lucky that I don't even know what to do with myself...

Wow, it's been a while!

Posted on January 03, 2009
My last post was about 3 or 4 weeks ago, so I figured I owed it to my both of my readers to post a little update. ;)Grades come out Monday. In 3 days. I'm trying not to think about it. Really, all I want to do is pass, but I'm kidding myself if I think grades don't matter just a little...

Posted on December 11, 2008

ADHD is REALLY frustrating right about now.

Posted on December 04, 2008
Growing up I never thought I might have ADHD. I'm not sure I had even heard of it! Looking back on it now, though, it makes perfect sense: 1. I almost obsessively focused on things I was interested in while being very quickly bored by things that were too easy...

Ok, that may be true.But then he said that most of us voted for Obama because we want him in our living rooms explaining policy for the next four years...

"You're too smart to be a nurse.

Posted on November 22, 2008
You should be a doctor!"Why do people think this is a compliment? Since when are nurses dumb? Would you want a dumb nurse?
