I arrived at work today to find out we were overstaffed on our unit, and as the lowest RN on the totem pole, I was the sucker that had to float to a different floor. Work FAIL. I was a bit nervous since I am a one trick pony very familiar with the cardiac ICU, but haven’t really ventured elsewhere outside the acute setting. But rather than boo hoo all the way to my new assignment, I was a good sport about it, and decided to make it an educational day. Welcome to the Neuro… Read more >

Remember back in the day when Facebook was new and cool and only for nerds college kids? Those were the good ‘ol days…now it’s open to everyone and their mother. And I mean that literally. Parents on a “social networking” site is just awkward. I’m sorry if it seems harsh, but I think all kids with mid-life-crisis-prone parents need to sit them down and explain to them what’s up. If we don’t stand strong now and prevent this from progressing, next thing you know you’ll be accepting “friend” requests from your college professors, or worse,… Read more >

Wanna see how my Maui meals have been going…well, I have about 4.7% of my eats captured on film, so I’ll let you be the judge of that. We eat at restaurants more often than not, so I am in serious need of a detox. Processed foods have been in abundance, despite my best attempts to minimize them. And even with mega planning ahead of time, vegan options tend to be poor at best. One of the things I realized here is how unavoidable processed foods is. Sad :( Even with my organic-loving, health-conscious, family,… Read more >

I think it’s fairly obvious I’m not the most computer savvy person out there…but with the help of Sarah, Mara, and Caroline, I managed to make the much needed (and long overdue) switch to WordPress. Finally. I have been putting it off forever, because the idea all these <?/.> things really really scare me. So now I can continue to sort it out while in Hawaii. Am I a total freak for thinking vacation is the perfect time for a blog make-over? Nothing screams relaxation like formatting and codes and DNS settings. Basically Thursday was… Read more >

**I’m not sure why, but I’m having tech related issues…update your google reader feeds to http://hungryhungryhippie.com/feed/ If you know what the title of this post means, I’m sorry. Ha Ha. But that’s what I felt like (again) today. I had 4 meals (not snacks, meals) AFTER dinner alone. OK, so back to the beginning… Hump day started off with an early morning wake up call. Someone’s gotta save lives. To get me going, I went with a Trilogy Kombucha. This is my FAVE flavor by far. Mmmm… I had packed my lunch before, but it… Read more >
