I’ve been getting a lot of google traffic lately from this particular phrase:
“hillary clinton nurse overpaid”
On first thought you would think I would welcome this traffic, because it might suggest that people are interested in a nurse blogger’s view of politics.

The most likely scenario [...]

Loved this “spirited” thread on Digg about Google’s plans for storing and accessing health records. Granted, some of the Digg users are a wee bit paranoid, (my favorite comment being “Hitler and Stalin were minor league compared to Page and Brin,”) it is a worthwhile discussion. It’s completely understandable for people to have questions about [...]

So I am [...]

Answer: Teach her how to pull femoral artery sheaths.
So my “flu” of last week petered out into a cold, and then eventually robbed me of my voice. I almost called in sick because of my inability to talk. Think about it. Do you [...]

Spotted a red shouldered hawk in our backyard this morning. Actually, Bill spotted it first. When I heard him yell, “You gotta see this - Come here IMMEDIATELY!!!” I thought that Ben must have taken his first steps.

At least that’s what it feels like. Body aches all over, slightly febrile (t = 100), throat is both soar and scratchy. Head is swimming.

Kim at Emergiblog has an excellent post on cheesy marketing ideas for nurses week. Please go read, “I have enough water bottles, thank you,” immediately. Because 15 is only the minimum.
