nursing school survival rules

When in doubt, wash your hands.

The correct answer is either "hand washing" or " patient airway".

If it moves, ambulate it. If it doesn't move, turn and reposition Q2H.

watchmen review

i am not a big fan of grotesque, violent movie... but I endured 2 hours and
45 minutes of Watchmen... why? because it looks awesome..... it's literally
the comic pages coming to life... but watcher beware.. Watchmen is not a
superhero movie, it is very dark, convoluted, in your face savagery. I must admit i speed-read the comic book and i only followed the story of certain characters...but really the whole premise lies on the simple formula of kill millions to save billions, you know, the superheroes mentality gone wrong...but what makes this different are the non-typical protagonists, the soap-like drama of the 2 generations of masked vigilantes, the never compromising attitude of my favorite rorschach, an almost "eye for an eye anarchical sort of justice" and .....awesome soundtrack!!

note to self: always check university website for alerts and sign up for mobile alerts.. that's what text messages are for... i was so eager to get to campus for our first exam which has already been delayed.. only to find out that school is closed because of the snowstorm... my clinical was cancelled yesterday in anticipation of the snow that did not come until late last night.. it was not that bad actually, i was even surprise that the train has express service.. the news said we're supposed to get some more... there is only one thing i'm happy about, i could justify being late tomorrow:)

see.. it was not that bad..
