The Ratio Difference

Last week we got our 2:1 IMC ratio back for Covid patients. And honestly? It's made a WORLD of difference. Of course it helped in all the obvious ways like 1 less round of med passes, 1 less assessment to do, and a whole lot less charting. But what it really did was give us … Continue reading The Ratio Difference →

What Am I Even Doing

It was May 4th when I titled this blog post. When I came back to my drafts today, August 10th, nothing was written in the body. And while I'm not sure what my initial thought was when starting this post, I find it fairly applicable to how I'm feeling today. So let's roll with it, … Continue reading What Am I Even Doing →

But, like all best-set plans of 2020, everything was cancelled. Instead, it resulted in a #staycation at my parents house and breaking out my old sewing machine.

While it … Continue reading Nursing Humor →

My First Daisy
