Things I've Learned This Week

• Doctors might go to school forever, but nurses keep hospitals going
• Hospital gowns don't fit
• A man definitely designed hospital gowns since there was a hole right over the chest
• Nurses are the best advocates out there
• having a team of doctors stand around a hospital bed is really intimidating
• More nurses need to be administrators in hospitals, or at least planners.  Things would get done a lot more efficiently
• Trying to get all the information out of a patient as you wake them up is not the greatest plan
• having a support system makes a hospital stay that much easier
• It's the little things in life that matter

I just got back from Snowbird, UT, working.  I laughed in my head because technically I could have said "I'm here on business."  Clearly, I never did, but that's alright.  This was a last minute trip, and I enjoyed every minute of it.  The trip was a once in a lifetime opportunity, and I feel like the luckiest person ever.  I got to ski every morning, and then I took care of Julia during nap time.  I have the greatest benefits in the world, and want to plan my own trip there.
