I am a manly nurse!!

As I finished sharding out my most recent paper something occurred to me. I currently want to work in the ER (probably pediatrics specialization but you have to be flexible there), so how I ask is my knowledge of "Family Diversity" important. Its not lie we are even studying various cultures or something, no we are studying the theory of why we don't know about other families. I can teach you that as follows: everybody's family is different than yours. There, now you all own me tuition. Don't complain, I saved you a lot of time and painful boredom. And honestly, if you are in my ER, dieing, do you really care about the academic strength of my papers? Do you care if I am sensitive to how your family is unique? No. You care that I can get an IV into damn near anyone and fast, that I know about the drugs I'm giving you, and that if your heart stops I'm going to work on you until I get you back or you have been oxygen deprived for so long it really isn't in your best interest anymore. I understand that universities need to turn out students who fit the Renaissance ideal of well rounded education, but at least teach my something. Please stop making classes that take an entire term, cost me money, and just repeat on little idea over and over again. You are eating the fun from my education here!

But I digress, the point is... I don't even remember anymore. Tomorrow I have another fluff class and a craptastic huggy-feely lab. Blech!!

Some of you are asking, "But Gordon, aren't you studying for your RPN as well as your RN? Isn't family diversity and all the huggy-feely stuff relevant to that?". The answer dear reader is no. Not for me. I like acute psych, especially in the ER when they come in all strung out and crazified.

And congratulations Obama, you made history. And maybe, just maybe, today God did bless America. Here's hoping.

You love the lab...with all the saline leaking from the eyes. Admit it....shhhhhh...you like it.
I agree, how strong my APA is doesn't affect how good I am on the floor, or when I get there the OR. Some of it is valuable, like not judging a person based on their personal values and beliefs, but that is just common sense.
In closing I would like to say.....Eh! Eh! Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

(And YAY OBAMA!!!!!!!)
