Ahhh

I apologize for the lack of postings. Life has been good and quick-paced lately....ahh, just how I like it! Here's a brief update on what I've been up to...
I worked a lot last week, and helped Andrew move to Omaha. It is so nice to have him closer. We see each other once every other day or so. It's very comforting to have him closer. I'm a nerd, but I'm in love...what can I say?! I have found someone whose personality is the perfect balance of mine. We are similar in many ways, but we compliment each other in some aspects as well. Ahh, life is good :)
I'm gaining confidence at work. I had an experience last week that helped bring me out of my shell. I had a little 3 year-old patient come back from an ortho surgery. Shortly after I assumed care of her, she began to experience severe respiratory distress. I was firm about getting a doctor up at the bedside as soon as possible to evaluate her and prescribe an appropriate treatment. It took me 15 minutes to get a doctor there, as her oxygen sats dropped to 50s and you could hear her trying to breath all the way down the hall. It was a scary situation, but I was assertive about getting a doctor there, and about being proactive for my patient's well-being. The physician who finally responded wasn't the most friendly or the most helpful. However, I stood by what I say/heard/believed, and eventually this girl was prescribed what she needed to help her breathing.
I'm working 3 days in a row this week, and then it's off to Alabama! I'm sooo excited for this trip! It's my one vacation of the summer and I'm ready for it!
I must say that this quick pace and being busy is great for me. It's how I operate most efficiently and happily. I'm a multi-tasker, and some people may say a busy-body. I enjoy a certain amount of chaos.
Okay time to stop rambling and get some sleep before work tomorrow.
Peace out and have a great week!
