Fragmented Friday

I have declared today "Fragmented Friday". No real blog topic, just stuff that I havent told you all.

For starters I have spent the last 2 days in a training course for ER nurses. This course is taught by Emergency Nurse Association (ENA) nurses and is an accelerated trauma nursing course, which is required for my job. We have to take this course every 4 years, and its always a lot of pressure, we go over a 200+pg manual in 12 hours and spend 4 hours testing. First we have to take a written test then we go one on one with an instructor for a practical test. I have take this course 3 times in the last 15 yrs and its always been challenging because there is so much material to go over. 4 yrs ago, I barely squeeked by. In fact I had to take one of my stations over because I flubbed it up.

This year.... 2nd highest score in the class! YAY ME! One other person scored higher than I did on the written test by 2 points. There were 4 of us close together and the other 19 people scored much lower than we did. woot!

So, thats done for another 4 years. Now on to other news. Breanna subluxed her knee while running through an obstacle course at school 2 days ago. She is ok, wearing a splint and hobbling around. Its the same knee that gave her trouble in BMT, I think its just weak because she hasnt been working out. I think once it is healed she should start strengthening it and she should be ok.

Dana and I are working opposite shifts as usual, in fact he was scheduled to work every weekend this month, not good. Maybe in May he will get some weekends off.

I ran across this funny lady on XM radio, and when I looked her up I realized that I actually saw her live back in the mid 80's at a med-legal seminar in Tulsa OK. She was hysterical back then and she is hysterical now. I hope you enjoy.

Obviously you're brain works better working day shift, hence the high score! WTG Woman! (And you didn't even study much cause I saw you on FB!) LOL
