RN Jobs Careers Indianapolis

Sometimes you look back over the past month and say to yourself, “What just happened?” You discover that you have compacted time and squeezed every minute to its limit. Instead of taking a breath and enjoying a bit of fall, you ratchet it up a notch and say “what’s next?” I’m doing spin-off lists now so I can basically keep track of who I am, what I’m doing and where I’m going. Maybe I need a blueberry!
 
I’ve been trying to complete my MANDATORIES. I can never seem to get them done during patient care time, so I have to wander in at strange times on my days off. I consider mandatories a necessary nuisance, especially now that I have to go in to do them. I liked the good ole days when I could do them from home in my pajamas on a Saturday night at midnight. I am one of those people who actually read every word and often take notes on things that are new. I also find interesting stuff at times that I might have known at some point in time and have totally forgotten or find that it really is new and I either like it or I mull it over in wonderment. I’ll not expound on the latter but can give you a prime example of the former. Did you know that the brain is 2% of the total body weight, uses 20% of cardiac output at rest, utilizes 500ml of oxygen and 75-100mg of glucose/min and requires optimal perfusion of 50ml of blood/100gms of brain tissue /min.? No one thinks about this stuff until October; unless, of course, your world is neurology.
 
My world is not neurology. I spent last week working in Video Seizure. I find it all very fascinating but I am not comfortable with it. I am getting better but I can tell you that Nik & Marz are pretty impressive with the whole scene. They are finite in reading the monitors and responding accordingly. It is the one great thing I like about the nursing profession, we all seem to find a niche over time and have the ability to excel in that arena. I even have trouble answering the phone in seizure! Try this a few times: "Video Seizure, this is Sherry." That must do something odd to brain waves!
 
I also managed to go to Reno this month for a long weekend to visit my college roommate and a grade school friend. What a great interlude! You can’t beat spending time with people you have known for 46 and 55 years. We went to Tahoe, Virginia City, Carson City and the unexplainable Harrah Auto Museum. Couple that with airplane snafus and every weather pattern imaginable, and there are great stories to be told.
 
I am a great believer in managing time to allow for fun as often as possible. We clog our lives with so much it is imperative we find time to make a few memories. As my sister would say, “We all need marker days”.
