Just a quick note of "something to consider" for Brett/Breanna. I talked to a nurse in the endoscopy dept and she said she loves her job even though people make jokes about it. She works from 5am to 2pm, monday through friday, NEVER is on call, NEVER works holidays or weekends. Sounds like a sweet schedule for a nurse.

Right now, I actually really like the idea of working three twelve hour shifts a week and being done to go play the rest of the week. Who else can do that?

Besides that, I want to work somewhere where I get actual experience in lots of different things, such as a med-surg floor so I don't forget everything I learned in school and be stuck in endoscopy my whole life.

Yeah.

Citizen: "HELP HELP! My child needs help! Someone help me!"

RN: "I'm a nurse! What's going on?"

Citizen: "He's blue, not breathing and shaking, and bleeding and oh please save my boy!"

RN: "Well, I don't know what to do about that, but I could watch a doctor stick a tube up his rear and change his bed sheets for him..."

I rest my case. No thanks.

Yea, I can understand that. Probably the same reason Brigham chose emergency medicine. I was telling Marilyn how boring that doctor's job must be. Same with the guy that did lasic on my eyes. Good money but I couldn't see myself doing that kind of work for 30 years.

Lots of fun happening around here. Kiera going through daddy-withdrawls after steve had to start school again. Poor little lady. Kiera has started trying to draw pictures of people now (see photo above). Kiera has officially mastered the VCR. She knows how to work it and what all of the buttons do. (I'll bet there are some 70 year olds who don't know as much as she does at age 2). Lydia has been enjoying a few firsts lately. We gave her rice cereal last night for the first time which she was apparently more than ready for (see video), we've put her in a doorway jumper which she likes although she hasn't figured out the jumping part yet. Oh, and for those of you who have been to NM lately, you'll appriciate this: Steve and I plan on applying to a government program that is somewhat like the military in that they pay for your schooling; but instead of steve being in a branch of the military, he will owe the government years of his life serving in one of th...
