R&R Adventures: March 2011
http://rachelandryan.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
R and R Adventures. Tuesday, March 29, 2011. Applying for new jobs. Another hospital has to be better-and safer-than mine. Ok, I'm sure there are worse places to work at, but.I'm tired.). I'm tired of six patients when I should have four. And should I mention I'm orienting a brand new RN to the hospital? Me, who has only been at the hospital for 7 months). I'm tried of patients saying to me, "Are you the only one working here? Or "Don't you have a nursing aide" or "Shouldn't your tech be doing this?

R&R Adventures: April 2011
http://rachelandryan.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
R and R Adventures. Tuesday, April 19, 2011. With the running club on Sunday, I ran my first ever trail run/race-a 10k Trailblazer run. Having never ran trail, and with a deep seeded fear of being lost in the woods, I planned to run with Katie, a true outdoors girl who has done her share of traveling and climbing. Good thing, as quite a few people got lost, including Caroline (who has run the course in the past), and a coach with three of her teenage-cross-country runners. We only had maybe 1 mile left.

R&R Adventures: January 2011
http://rachelandryan.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
R and R Adventures. Monday, January 31, 2011. Just finished working 3 days in a row, and on day 3 three I started with 6 patients. SIX. On a so called 'stepdown' unit. And, when a physician did not call back regarding a patient's discharge medications, my charge nurse and I agreed what medications the patient would probably. So after my charge did a 'telephone order read back' and signed the discharge papers, my guy went home and the new patient came up. I called the operator to do an overhead page.

R&R Adventures: Turn The Page
http://rachelandryan.blogspot.com/2011/05/turn-page.html
R and R Adventures. Sunday, May 1, 2011. I submitted online applications to two hospitals. That was on a Tuesday or Wednesday. I had the weekend off, but then had two absolutely HORRENDOUS days at work that led to crying and midnight panic attacks. On Wednesday, I was driving home from a yoga class (needed to learn how to breath again), and thinking about calling the hospitals to ensure that they received my applications. No need as they had called me. Woop woop! I'm proud to say that I got a job at this...

R&R Adventures: November 2010
http://rachelandryan.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
R and R Adventures. Friday, November 19, 2010. A few days ago, at work, I was administering insulin to a patient who is known to have hepatitis C. I was giving the patient the insulin in the arm when I felt something sharp in my left hand. Somehow I had stuck myself with the dirty needle. It's bad enough to have stuck myself with a truly filthy dirty needle, but it was as if my employer had no idea how to handle the situation (that's another story). I called the base. Then I called the base ob/gyn. The C...

R and R Adventures. Wednesday, February 23, 2011. Team Trivia tonight. the first time since this past summer when we lived in Delaware. I am absolutely HORRIBLE when it comes to team trivia, but the beers and laughter are why you go, right? And I ran 4 miles today, so I at least earned a beer. So with what team of people am I joining for team trivia? 4 miles, 61* weather, 58% humidity. I wore shorts and a tank top, and sleeves, which I probably didn't need. Total time: 36:12/9:03 average pace. It's beaut...

R and R Adventures. Friday, October 29, 2010. Marathon Bound.Wish me luck! Thursday, October 14, 2010. What In the World. Ok Once again, I fail as a blogger, but with no pressure to write (readers, I think, are few and far between), the blogging mojo hasn't been in full force. Than came the first 20 mile run. Alone, on a weekday, I left at 5:45am and ran what must have been hundreds of circles. I made the mistake of passing the house at 19.70 mi, had a "coughing spell" (which turned into noxi...I worked ...

R&R Adventures: June 2010
http://rachelandryan.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html
R and R Adventures. Monday, June 28, 2010. How many of you remember the reading program at school that was sponsored by a particular pizza restaurant that has a red roof? I loved that program. First you got a button (one year it was a very cool hologram) and you would get a yellow star to put on the button for each month if you made the monthly quota for the number of books or book reports you were supposed to complete. So in today's 'retro' style of Bringin' Back the 80s, I'm going to book it. I chose t...
