    I started traveling dec 2007, hurt my back end of May 2009. Finally I get to go back to work, I am very excited to start traveling again.
    It brought back some memories the last nursing job I had before traveling.
    I can be a bit of a jokester, had an elderly lady come into our ICU, she was in for R/O MI, her family was with her. She was a bit difficult. I was trying to make her feel more at easy, it wasn’t working, haven’t had that kind of eye since fourth grade. She had to be a retired teacher, and she also didn’t like “male nurses”. She asked me if I knew what I was doing, with a dead pan look, read the book once, her family loved my coment, she didn’t, then; got tired of reading so went to the last page, it said I had won, didn’t like that either. So then I have one favor to ask of you; please don’t die on my shift….cause the paperwork is exhasting the family was laughing. Then I actuly got a smile out of her, she was an exciting and fun patient, and she was a retired teacher.

    I have recently on a personal basis have had to deal with both a nurse practitioner and a physicians assistant. In the basics of nursing training we care for patients and not organs. This is taken with the nurse when she becomes a practitioner. The problem with the physicians assistant is that they think they are doctors and treat patients in that manor very often with a rough demeanor. Give me a nurse practitioner any day they understand they relate and they treat.
