Ginger looks like a sweetheart. You should check out the "Your Pet A Day" thread.

She's spoiled.

So... are you pleased with your "extravagant" purchase then?

dansamy · 11-22-2013, 03:31 PM

Oh, yes. Definitely. I won't get to play with it much this week because I'm on a marathon of 6 12hr nights in a row. (I'm a nurse.) I hope to get to play more with it at Thanksgiving. I think it'll do exactly what I want. Which is to force me to usemanual controls a bit more and really learn more aabout my camera.

Remember all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy, or in you case Jackie a dull girl.

I got through my marathon without any negative repercussions. (I'm always worried that fatigue may cause a terrible error with consequences for a patient.) Tuesday night was quite busy, which is EXACTLY what I needed. Being the last night of my marathon, I would have been nodding if it had been a silent night. Instead, I got one kiddo with dehydration, one with an eye injury, a new cancer diagnosis & a baby who kept trying to chew on his iv, until he successfully jacked it up & got himself one in his foot instead! I didn't even sit down until about 1am, much less eat lunch.

Night shift, and in the ER? I feel for you. Hopefully you're getting some much deserved rest.

dansamy · 11-29-2013, 09:10 PM

No, not in the ER. I work peds, which usually really means the psych ward!

TinaS · 11-29-2013, 09:14 PM

Ah. Sorry for the assumption. All that drama sounded like ER. LOL. My job almost sounds boring compared to yours. I'm a pediatric home health nurse. It can get kinda crazy in the home, but nothing like a hospital.

dansamy · 11-29-2013, 09:16 PM

I've learned that EVERYONE you meet is crazy. Some a little, some a lot!

TinaS · 11-29-2013, 09:19 PM

I know that's right! LOL
