My heart goes out.

This side of the world we are having dinner with our family in the comfort of our homes...and the other side of the world in the Philippines they are hungry, no roof, love ones pass away and no roof over their heads.  My heart goes out to the people of the Philippines.  Will keep you all in my prayers.

Didn't know mothers purchasing breast milk via online

Don't think I would purchase breast milk via, the thought of my baby drinking another person's breast milk wondering if it's even real or clean?

Human milk purchased via the Internet exhibited high overall bacterial growth and frequent contamination with pathogenic bacteria, reflecting poor collection, storage, or shipping practices. Infants consuming this milk are at risk for negative outcomes, particularly if born preterm or are medically compromised. Increased use of lactation support services may begin to address the milk supply gap for women who want to feed their child human milk but cannot meet his or her needs. #nurse

Time away from home

Don't know about the rest of the home health nurses..but I love going on doctor's appointment with my patients.  Being out of the house make the hours go by faster.   I have heard fellow nurses who didn't  like going to doctor's appointment reasons were like, getting patient ready including  equipments that patient may need too much work, the wait at the doctor's office too long, being together with parent for too long and the paper work.  Anyways different fokes different strokes.   Love what I do.

Addicted to job search

Anyone else? I'm always searching job site to see what's out there, not a day goes by that I'm not searching for nursing opportunities.  Sometime I feel I should create a site, it will be want to know what's out there contact Sharon I'll tell you who is hiring where.  I stay connected...lol..cause I love what I do.

Can you guess what this is?

What I do sometimes while my patient is asleep.

Faith

When I start a new case I feel a little nervous at first, but I know I have faith to take care of my patient, I done it before, this is just a new patient.  I realize if I live by faith, fear becomes obsolete.  Faith knock out fear at every round.  #lovebeinganurse

Everyone is sick

Everyone is sick here included my patient with a cold.  Do I wanted to be here? no, the night nurse already gave me report and left,  my little patient needed so I'm stuck here for 10 hours.  Wash, wash those hands.  Yes very busy suctioning, with cold come copious secretion.   Still love what I do.
