I loved being an RN, and I miss it now that I am retired.
But I have to mention that it can be a thankless job. People take all their frustrations out on their nurse. Regardless of who actually dropped the ball, it’s going to come down on the nurse’s head. If the doctor fails to order their medication, for example, the nurse catches all the flak for it, and yet when that actual doctor enters the room, the patient will be all smiles, and niceness, and sweet to the doctor. I used to just bite my tongue. Hahaha.
I was a nurse in Pennsylvania in the Lehigh Valley area, and when I first started, in the early 70’s, working with patients and family was easier than toward the end (I retired in 2012).
Early on, people were more cordial, and practiced manners and social graces.
By the time I left the field, people as a whole had become more rude, nasty, and self-centered.
If a “code-blue” happened on the unit, in 1970 other people who heard it would be concerned for the outcome for the patient. Nowadays it’s like “That’s his problem, I had to wait for my discharge papers and I’m angry” (at the nurse, of course).
But I still miss it.

Thank you so much for the time you spent helping others. It certainly can be a thankless job at times.

I've saw pictures floating around facebook of chickens in Christmas Hats. I wanted a picture of Branch and Poppy in a Santa Hat. Next time, I think the smart thing will be to photoshop on a hat. They were great sports about the whole thing although Poppy wanted to eat the tree and both immediately tried to shake off the hat every time it was placed on their heads.

I've not been around so much lately.

I seem to be finding people that I haven't seen for decades over this past 3 months.

I will be changing my phone because it's crashing all the time and even though it should be replaced I was told it's not going to happen, so giving up and I've purchased another one.

As soon as everything is sorted I will be back to normal.

It's so exciting to find one friend I knew as a child, we were like family even his mother had me close too her. This beautiful lady is still with us and as wonderful as she always was. So it's a very happy and exciting time for me. Wish me luck and leaving you all with my friendship and love

Enjoy your time with your friends Marie. Happy Holidays.

What a lovely mug shot of Hattie! I love her eyes...they are like Astralorp eyes, deep coloring and somewhat large. I have a hen (Raven) that is part Astralorp and has those large brown eyes...when she cocks her head and looks at me, it makes me melt. (It doesn't help that she is such a sweetie, too, similar to Hattie . She follows me everywhere when I am out!)

Your are blessed to have one want to be with you. Wonderful.

There's my girl! She's such a special hen.

She just oozes sweetness and goodness.
