Legal

i look the part.

its funner than senior year.
(i think)
( i hope)

and now it's legal!

i am now legally allowed to use the titles "RN" and "registered nurse". I can wear them on a pin or sign them after my name. Finally! So tired of the blank stares when i say i'm a "GN".
Good. Nurse.
Good. Night.

sometimes its 130am and i'm doing the dishes.
and then "oh my love's like a red, red rose" jumps into my head.
is it in your head now?

i was reading my medical dictionary earlier tonight. I love that book. My old roomate in Edmonton and i used to always read them. We are so cool it hurts.
Anyways, i was looking up the correct spelling of "pruritus" (because everyone always says it puritus which makes me think of Puritans) and i came across the "Emperor of Pruritus" and i thought it was really funny.

pruritus means itching.

Emperor of Itching.

ha ha ha ha.

And then i read what the condition actually is and it wasnt funny any more.
And that's all i have to say.

And I thought "Student Nurse Jacqui" was good!!!

You may want to consider some the following as per Cherry Ames:

Senior Nurse
Army Nurse
Chief Nurse
Flight Nurse
Veterans' Nurse
Private Duty Nurse
Visiting Nurse
Cruise Nurse
Night Supervisor
Mountaineer Nurse
Clinic Nurse
Dude Ranch Nurse
Rest Home Nurse
Country Doctor's Nurse
Boarding School Nurse
Department Store Nurse
Camp Nurse
At Hilton Hospital
Island Nurse
Rural Nurse
Staff Nurse
Companion Nurse
Jungle Nurse
Ski Nurse Mystery

I can't decide between "Dude Ranch Nurse Jacqui", and "Boarding School Nurse Jacqui". But then again, "Jungle Nurse Jacqui" is very tempting....

oh Cherry!

I really liked "Dude Nurse" until i got to "Jungle Nurse".
mind you, "department store nurse" is intriguing in its unusualness. but it would probably be a lot of cardiacs. ugh.

What about "Ski Nurse Mystery"??? What's up with that?

And yes, I do now have "My love's like a red, red rose" stuck in my head. Fuck, I loved that song. Though, only when we all remembered that it's pronounced "LIKE," not "LIKE."

yes "ski nurse mystery" is rather puzzling, or mysterious, if you will...

what really gets me is "at hilton hospital".
