Basic Nursing Text: Gastropathology, 1st Semester

In other news, axed two more dead blogs from the list.

Probably passed away months ago, since I barely dust the cobwebs off here my ownself.

Nearly everyone in this biz is either too tired, too busy, or too hesitant to talk about it online.

And that's really sad.

At this rate, before I retire, I'll be the best ER nursing blog online.

And about the only one.

Which is how I'll win.

Except that still won't happen, because they're looking for "rah-rah go team! NANDA is spectacular! We ♥ Annual Surveys!" happygas, and I'm severely allergic to that bullsh*t.

But that reminds me, I've gotta knock out my...14th...? ACLS re-cert this month.

O joy.

There's a solid half dozen of us left, and it really does surprise me that there aren't new ones. I guess blogs are a social medium of the past? Too much of a time commitment for those used to Vine/tiktok/instagram. Which also have their benefits, but are sadly lacking in reflection most of the time.

Only nursing blog?? Too depressing for words. Also…challenge accepted. There are too few anonymous and therefore delightfully snarky, albeit true, accounts of, what nurses actually experience. I still have a lot of stories which I may share. Anyway, it’s interesting from a retired perspective to keep up with how the “kids” are coping in dystopian healthcare universe. Keep fighting the fight.

Yeah. The blog world is getting mighty small anymore.

HIPPA

These are works of fiction.
Any similarity to actual persons or circumstances, living or dead, is entirely coincidental.
Especially if you suspect I may have had anything, however coincidental and fictional, in making them dead.
If you think you're reading anything about yourself, or someone you know, or someone you read about, you have the right to remain silent.
If you give up the right to remain silent, I reserve the right to consider you a work of fiction.
Void where prohibited by law.
May contain peanuts, gluten, partially dehydrogenated vegetable fat, and D and C Dye Number 6.
Because a person's a person, no matter what the hippa-potamus says.
So any attempts to annoy, pester, harass, bully, or otherwise vex me about the uncanny similarity you and your delusional psychoses have ascribed to an actual person will result in the deployment of the dreaded "I know you are, but what am I?" gambit, straight out of third grade recess. My 5-year-old neice was 0 for 342 against it, and she was professionally ranked before I broke her, so I'd back off now if I were you.

Comments

Comments are appreciated. They require neither prior ID nor screening for content.
Anonymous abusive or rude comments will be either mocked mercilessly, or simply deleted into the internet ether, solely at the blog owner's discretion. (That would be me.)
If you somehow labor under the misapprehension that free speech applies everywhere, try this experiment: go to your next door neighbor's house, urinate and defecate on his living room floor, and call him a m*****f****** @$$hole, then see whether you receive an award from the ACLU, or an ambulance and police car, who stop momentarily to help collect your teeth.
If you don't get this, you're too stupid to be on the Internet, let alone posting comments on my blog.
Disagreement is one thing, even ignorance can be understandable, but rude @$$holery will not be tolerated here. I have neither the time nor inclination to imbue what a public K-12 failed to instill in those folks bereft of the ability to reason intelligently or behave like well-adapted human beings in polite society.
That's why for you there's a Skid Row.
