1. What exactly happens when someone coughs up a nasty trach plug? Is it sputum or gastric contents?
2. If you can't tell the difference in #1, should they let you graduate as a nurse practitioner? I probably p*$s% off our NP student, but last time I checked, lungs should not (regularly) contain gastric contents.
3. What does no really mean in any language (pick several, but we're all speaking English--American, anyway--here)? When you refuse to see my patients (or in our local speak: decline) and say no, I take it to mean, NO you will not see them. Yes, there is a communication gap here.
Sorry if you don't like what your boss says to you after that when I tell him/her. Not exactly my problem. If I could write orders for what the patient wanted, I'd be practicing medicine, not being a nurse.
The color of the sky, football teams, and crabby patients are all up next. We'll see how the week progresses.
Stay tuned.

The perils of the modern student
I thought it was dangerous NOT to bring a notebook and pen to class when I went to PrivateU. Most of the time we got handouts of every professor's PowerPoint presentation.
One day, the copier broke. You'd have thought the world ended with some of the kids (yes, because they were much younger than me) went into hysterics."Go to the computer room and ask them if you can borrow some paper." I said. (I had my own and a laptop to take notes.)
After several students were peeled off the lecture hall ceiling, they got their wits and got the paper.
So tonight as I'm going through my homework for the latest class, I realize that I bought two e-books this semester because I waited too long to order the real ones.
Well, how on earth do you reference your citations in perfect APA format if you don't have page numbers? Thanks to my dear Google (aka the lifesaver) I found the answer. Yes, people, the APA folks have known about this for years already.
Welcome to the 21st century, RehabRN. I like my e-books. They are a lot lighter than the real ones!
That is all...back to homework. Enjoy your weekend no matter where you are.
