Last night I did a 4 hr little stint at the hospital since they were short staffed. My legs were pretty sore afterwards but it was good to be back (even though I've only been away 1 1/2 weeks). But it was one of the first times that someone commented "Oh, you aren't a real nurse your are just a LPN or whatever". I have always been pretty happy/proud of being and LPN. Where I work we are able to use all of our skills and the difference between the skills/work of the LPN's and RN's is little (compared to some places). But last night it really got to me. So...following her comment I made sure her 'needle in the butt' stung just a little bit more than usual.....(kidding) :) I have never wanted to be an RN because of the responsibility that there is but last night I felt like I wanted to - just so I could say that I was an RN (well, and the pay would be a bit better too). Why does something a little 92 year old lady affect me so much when I can go to many places in the bible and read how much I am loved? Or even ask my husband what I mean to him?....
And since I don't have any new pics to post I thought I'd leave you with these two...
My uber-cute neice with her cute grin: (can't wait for our visit this weekend!)
The guitar Brian is patiently (or not so patiently) waiting for:
