i felt this way too when my mom passed. it was a good year before i felt that i wasn't in a "daze". a good 2 years before i could think of my mom and not tear up. it's been 6 years now, and when i think of her, i smile with good meemories. i still have moments when i'm sad thinking about what i'll miss without her by my side. and i use to hate it when people say the pain will past. there was a part of me that felt that if the pain past, then it meant that i was forgetting her. it was so odd to me that the world went on without her, and it has. i felt isolated as well. and the hard part was to let people in, and it meant that i had to cry out to them. most people just don't know what to do... so they do nothing. it's really ackward. some people can deal with it, others can't. i know it sucks right now, and it feels like your heart will never heal. but time does help. you are not alone, and i wish you the best. my aunt told me because i took good care of my mom when she was dying, that i would be looked after for the rest of my life. that i would never be alone and my mom would always watch after me. i know its corny, but it's true. hope this helps.

seriously, when are they gonna learn. we went through a whole s*** load of stuff at cedars when it happened there. that was national news. ughhh hopefully now all hospitals will review P&P so it doesn't happen again. really, like 3 major newsworthy incidents in less then 5 years?

ok, i have 6 if you still need them

i have some left over... i'll check tonight

yay!!! welcome back!! i'm so happy everything went well! to DT brides!!

That was only a fraction of my shift!!! ouch.... seriously, i cringe each time i see happen

we should start a thread with all nurse stories.... i know sometimes i come home and i need to vent, but i hate talking about work at home. and my non RN friends don't quite understand everything. only RNs can truly understand the humor. like when pts are on the call light every 30 mins for 10/10 pain, but when you go in with the med, they're passed out, snoring.

cake looks yummy! it looks awesome without the blling
