MGS RADAR

Well today we didn’t have many patients on our ICU, and the ones who were present…well not something you might expect on an ICU.

I took the chance to do some things…I visited my head teacher about some things and then she asked me the following question.

“Well do you feel capable about working on sick kids and babies?”

And I answered :”Iam expected to take care about any patient around any age!”

“Well, then go to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit right now, there is a 4 year old intubated child on a respirator where your expertise is needed!”

TRUE CHALLENGE!

I really liked pediatric nursing and working with the children on the ward, and I miss it during the days I spent washing 90 year olds. But…I’m formally not capable of doing it

Well long story short, there it was the intubated, sedated child with a minor surgery. I’m not in the position of mockering about other nurses, and I’m not a pediadric nurse but the nurse on THIS particular ward was a real bitch!!!

But, with some knowledge I pulled out of my back part in my memory I was able to take care of him and another newborn child, very pleasing for me at last!

I still have no reference about popular metal music which puts itself in the shade of publicity by putting scandals or some kind of stylish understatement IN FRONT of their actual music (You know, I’m a nurse ; I define myself by fixing SHIT not other things) and I never liked the popularity of Slipknot , despite they have some good pieces of music around. Maybe it’s about the fans, I don’t like the fans of the band, but future articles will follow about this topic.

In my countless searches around Youtube I found some interviews of Slipknot Members without masks and I was amazed how deep and real these guys are in these interviews. Some of them share the same opionions, take a look into this philosophy

BY THE WAY

MySpace SUCKS ass and I’m no longer a member of this piece of shit!
