Here are this week's questions:1. What inspires you?
My hubby, my mom, my fellow nurses...though I'll admit, there are some nurses out there who shouldn't even be in this profession... -_-
2. What is the last thing you bought yourself?
I bought this dress from Target. I don't know why I like it so much. But I decided to get it, because I always find something that I like, I don't buy it, and then I regret it later. I *might* wear this to E's MPBOLC graduation in April depending on the weather unless I find another dress that I like...or maybe I'll just wear jeans lol.
3. Would you rather watch a movie in a theater or from the comfort of your own home?
I like doing both :)
4. Household chore you don't mind doing?
Lol I hate them all!
5. Coffee or tea?
Coffee!!! I cannot physiologically survive without it. I drink about 4-6 cups/day. I love tea too, but coffee is definitely my favorite.
6. What could you eat every day and not get sick of?
Bananas. I absolutely love them. Sometimes I'll eat 3/day!
7. What's the last book you read?
My ginormous NCLEX binder, which I consider a book in itself! (it's 600 pages!) Right now I'm reading Water For Elephants by Sara Gruen and I really like it so far. I'm also looking for some more book recommendations! ;)
8. Do you think you "look" your age?
Absolutely not. I am 23 and I get mistaken for being 18 a lot...sometimes 16 at work, but I notice that I look a lot younger with hair up (and I HATE wearing it up!) There is at least one patient or family member who tells me:
"you look a little too young to be working here! just how old are you?"
"I'm 23."
"ohhh well you'll be thankful for it later, hunny!"
everytime.
As a PCA, patients asked me if I was old enough, but then it was okay for them because I wasn't given them life altering medications. Now, they REALLY question my age. Be ready for it!
ReplyDeleteSo you're telling me I should drink coffee and eat 3 bananas a day to look young and healthy? :p
ReplyDeleteK.
That's so funny because I have the same problem! Never fails - at least once a shift, someone always asks my age "because I can't possibly be more than 16 or 17." It will certainly feel good when we're 40 and they say we look 25! :)
ReplyDeleteAs for a book recommendation, I just got this new one that I think you'll love. It's called "Lipstick in Afghanistan" by Roberta Gately. It's about an American nurse from Boston who always dreamed of going to help with relief efforts around the world, ends up in Afghanistsan JUST before 9/11, only a year into her nursing career. It's a true story, and it's absolutely amazing. She ends up falling for an SF soldier but has to keep their romance on the down low. She was a new grad who worked in the Emergency Room for one year before she left, and it's just a really awesome book. Not finished yet but I am already in love with it!
@Julie - I figured I would get it a lot more as a grown-up nurse, since I'll be doing assessments and giving meds and all of that jazz :) I'm prepared for it! lol
ReplyDelete@Karine - lol that's the secret!! ;)
@MrsH - that book sounds very interesting and sounds like I will love it, thank you so much for the recommendation!
