********************Nurse's Notes**************************
Very sick, sick patients in our unit this past few days. Renal failure after surgery, lung failure...codes...all of it happened and so much more. I am glad that yesterday, most of the patients improved significantly!! We had one family who were bound and determined to find everything wrong in everything we did...until a very special young nurse took things into her own hands...and had them satisfied at the end of the weekend...great job girlie!!
The new nurses are coming along just fine...treading water at least, in the deep end of the pool of nursing.
*************************************************************
Have a great day, everyone!!

Lovely runners and blocks, Julie. :) Nursing truly does take a special kind of person to handle all of the daily stresses.
Yum! Love that orange! It's all bright and happy and makes me want to squee!
I've got to the point where I love the challenge of difficult families. I don't win them all, but I sure try!
I've concluded that when we want to tell them that we are not the enemy, we need to realize that they are not the enemy either! My favorite line is,"Let's work together for the greater good of your loved one!"
You are crazy and amazing! Love your orange goodness!
Gosh you ARE getting ahead of Christmas. The orange is so pretty. Love it. So glad I stopped in.
You've been busy! I've been trying to get ahead on Christmas projects also!
Don't know how you accomplish so much! The orange blocks are stunning. Can't wait to see what you do with them!
The orange blocks are looking great, and I love your table-runners, and no it's definitely not too early to be getting ready for Christmas LOL!!!! I should take a leaf out of your book and get started myself LOL!!!!
Yes, we've had a very busy time of it at my unit as well!!!! Our ED dept had several MH pts last evening, I'll be going in on an afternoon shift later today and see what how many of them made it down to us!!! Our 40 bed unit rarely has empty beds for long!!!!
You totally know I'm such a fan of orange....and these blocks are FANTASTIC! Yay!
What a great sparkle the orange makes! those table runners are going to be lovely when you have finished them.
I LOVE orange! Great, glowing blocks, Julie. : )
What fun runners. Come December you will be so glad you did this!
Orange is not one of my favorite colors, but your blocks definitely make it appealing. Nice job.
Sounds like the young nurse has a good mentor: I think her name is JulieK
All of your orange project are so cute. The little baskets are so vibrant and fun!
I love orange! It's the color I am most drawn to in flowers too, so cheerful and bright. Love your coin tablerunners--I need to clear out my 1.5" strip drawer and have had coins in mind myself.
Glad your new nurses are doing well!
mmmm, yes, you have made orange look tempting. love your string stars and those small baskets are so cute~!

Those orange blocks look wonderfully bright and cheery. I used to not like orange very much, but recently I've been warming to it!! Great job on your xmas presents :)
The orange quilt blocks remind me of orange juice. Kissed by the sun!
The orange blocks remind me of Creamsicles :-) Very fun way of using the color orange.
Strong work getting gifts ready early and new nurses too! It sounds like you have some fine people coming into your ranks. The challenges really seem to deepen some days. I like what Mary Walker wrote.
Orange - both totaly gorgeous
Julie, Do you care to share the size of the orange broken dishes and the orange string stars? Any cutting instructions for these.
I have wanted to do an orange quilt and I love these together.
Thanks Paula in KY
