Okay, so I am not a nurse, but I was a nursing student at one point (until my family got in the way and decided they couldn't deal without my undivided attention for another four semesters . . . no, I am not sore about it at all). Anyway, I used to work the nightshift as an aide on the Maternal Child and Pediatrics units. Occasionally I did a stint in psych, er, and med/surg. I could definitely identify a bit. Let's just say I've handled my fair share of biohazard material. Placenta, anyone?! LOL!

Sometimes I think to myself, I went to school for 6 years to play in blood, snot and shit all day. Don't get me wrong, there are many rewarding days and inspiring patients. I am fortunate that I absolutely love what I do, but damn, is it gross and totally frustrating sometimes. Yes, many of days i come home with totally foul stories for The Big Guy.
