Greetings and Salutations!
This journey in nursing started for me in 2003! It started as any typical story, at 1st I wanted to be a doctor to "help people" LOL! In high school I took this healthcare oriented class and Ms. G discussed nursing as a career to the class. Of course I ignored it because I didn't truly understand the nursing profession and damnit, I wanted to be a doctor! Well as I got closer to graduation I needed extra volunteer hours to make myself more "well rounded" on the college application, because I missed the top 10% by one dang chair! So I found myself in a brown smock (it looked like I worked at Walmart) in the emergency room @ LBJ! The nurses there were def one of a kind! I then asked the question "so where are the doctors?", they replied with sass "in the back". "So who runs this ER?", "Honey, your looking at us". Needless to say, I then learned one of the major benefits of nursing, we keep the operation going! I was UT Austin bound and here I am today!
I currently work in the med center in Houston in Cardiac ICU (medical) we do IABP, vents, CVVHD, hypothermia, peripherial thrombosis, PA catheters along with other typical ICU type of diagnosis. I have been working there since June of 2008 and I have decreased my commitment there to pursue travel nursing!
Details are coming.....
