Usually I tune out the ads for medications on the TV or radio, until they come to the part about side-effects.

Somehow the thought of a swollen throat or tongue, increasing thoughts of depression or suicide, bloody stools and “seek immediate attention for an erection lasting longer than four hours” makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up. (Wait, is that a side effect from something that I’m taking?)

And “may cause obsessive gambling or compulsive sexual behavior” makes me very leery of new medications on the market.

WHEN I OPEN THE CHART AND SEE 20 NEW UNEXPECTED ORDERS

I’m not feeling serious today.

This Tumblr blog has made me chuckle and think “Yep.” (Kudos to your creativity.)

But we don’t respond that way, except in our heads.

This reminds me of when I was doing home health. It seems as though I was perpetually “on-call” and dreaded the sound of the phone ringing, or my pager.

I was so conditioned that some sort of communication device had to be strapped to me at all times.

I no longer do home health, and one day the conditioning to be available at a moment’s notice may go away.

Support Charity for Nurses

It’s rare that we hear about agencies that help nurses. Even more rare when nurses ask for help. 

In wandering around the Web today, I ran across a posting about Nurses House. This organization is nursed-managed and receives donations for nurses in need of short-term financial assistance due to illness, injury or disability.

During April 12th through May 12th (that includes Nurses Day on May 6th), they will be having a “Dolphins for Nurses” campaign to raise awareness of what they do, and to raise funds for the needs of other nurses. It’s limited geographically to the northeast US, and to large organizations such as hospitals, but it’s good to hear that there is something out there.

Who knows what one may need at some point in life? Ideally, you will go through your adult working life unscathed, finally hang up those comfortable (washable) shoes and only have to deal with expelled body fluids when the kids drop off the new grand kid for a few hours of their rest.

But there may be twists that we didn’t expect, and despite our best efforts of keeping our impervious nurse’s cape on, something slips a little kryptonite our way.
