Stay cool.

My roommate just pounded the couch and screamed "Fuck you!" while playing Super Mario. Awww. He's SO cute.

Pretty ick outside, eh? I was sliding my way to my car after work at 9 tonight and kept picturing myself falling flat on my belly. Pretty sure there's enough cushion to keep the hybrid warm and safe but ya'know. Sometimes when I scrunch myself up I imagine I'm smashing one half of its face or something.

Remember in your daily happenings that it doesn't take much discouragement to throw someone off in a big way. I shouldn't let it bother me (blah blah blah, we know the drill) but seriously, another nurse pretty much told me I'm sucking today and it bothered me in a big way. She's not someone I respect a lot so I could tell myself it shouldn't bother me BUT IT DID. Ugh. It was a long day.

Why are nurses such assholes?

Seriously.

I have no idea...I was an asshole long before I became a nurse.

Seriously, stand up to the mean ones. If they know they can pick on you without consequence, they will continue to do it. I tell this to all my new grads before they fall prey to the Bitches. Once they know that you give it right back, they usually move on to the next easy target.

The hardest part about this job is getting that thick skin.

I'm honestly not sure exactly how thick I want my skin to be. However arrogant this may sound, I've generally been very good at my jobs. It's hard to be told I suck because that's the absolute last thing I want. It just made me start to question IF and how long it will be until I am good at this job because that is exactly what I want.

You're first year out of the gate is your Suck Year. After that, you should have an established routine, and that's the hard part...getting a routine.

Good luck!!
