Hierarchy of morals

At the end of the day, I am not as skeeved out by a person charged with first degree murder/assault as someone who has been charged with a sex offense. Any sex offense.

July 31st

Happy Birthday to our dearest Harry Potter A few things: today I collaborated with the PA on wound care for a debrided wound on somebody’s ankle. I felt like I communicated well, and was able to anticipate what treatments may be necessary. I also assessed a large(almost 12 inches) abdominal surgical incision. I was intimidated,Continue reading “July 31st”

Ready, set, go

I pretty much hit the ground running. Two days of observations and I was participating on the floor after that. Right now I’m fighting a losing battle with boredom.

I landed an interview the day after applying at the Frederick Adult Detention Center. I went for the experience, and will likely reject the job offerContinue reading “There’s a first time for everything”

I was recently lent a book of this title by Abbi Jacobson(from a coworker who remembered that I am a Broad City fan) that I have always wanted to read and the univerese was like here ya go! What struck me today was Abbi’s search for that creative spark, as a coping mechanism to theContinue reading “I might regret this”

People are still allowed to go to the grocery store, participate in outdoor activities, receive medical help, and provide care to others. This isContinue reading “Pandemic Pt. 2”

Currently(March 13th, 2020 3:52pm EST), I am watching live coverage(Youtube; ya girl don’t do cable) of NBC New’s special report on President Donald Trump’s declaration of a National Emergency. Here is what I am seeing: A president who is hatedContinue reading “Pandemic”
