All Star Nurses!



Recommended Posts

Now, I am still a student nurse, but I know that there's at least one nurse, and I noticed someone else with nurse in their screen name. Fess up- how many of us are nurses? (YAY NURSES!)

Hi Kristy! smile.gif

I graduated last year with my MSN degree. I received my BSN in 1999. Most of my career, I have worked as a Hospice nurse. My MSN focus is in Nursing Informatics. I am currently working as a Business Analyst for our I.T. department. When I am up to speed on the technology piece, I will move into a Nursing Informatics Liaison position between the Clinical staff and the I.T. staff, working collaboratively to get everyone up and running in the electronic medical record (EMR). Keep up the good work! We need more nurses!

Go Sexxy!!! I dearly want to be an NP, and with the new rules that means DNP. ACK! Maybe I'll change my mind and become a midwife, which is still a Master's. LOL.

Yay nurses! I have been a pediatric nurse for 11 years now, and love it! I have been considering getting my MSN someday, or possibly a Masters in Health Administration. Then I could RUN the hospital!

I am an RN, Graduated Nursing school (associates) 1985. Currently am a Medicare Nurse manager in a skilled nursing facility in the Rehab dept. No matter what aspect of Nursing one goes into I believe we have one of the most physical/mental/emotional/rewarding jobs there are! Nurses Rock!

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
