Take Note:
I am telling you now...This blog is HIPPA compliant. If you think you recognize yourself, your neighbor, or even your Aunt's cousin who is sisters with your best friend, you are mistaken. Some of these stories are real, possibly a little embellished, maybe all together fake, or even collaborated on by others. But ALL identity's (maybe at times even my own) have been masked to protect the innocent.
Nursing school is an adventure, or so I am told. Here, if you wish to be entertained by others misery, you can follow my journey with stories with drama, whimsical delights, tales of caution, maybe you are just looking for that "gross element" to help you feel better about your job. Stick with me, its going to become a wild ride!
