…is hosted by Dr. Emer over at Parallel Universes!
Many thanks to the good doctor for hosting the nursing blogosphere this week.
It looks like he sent an email to the majority of folks on my “Change of Shift” list, so I won’t send out an announcement this week.
As I am sitting in Oakland International Airport en route to Charlotte, North Carolina by way of Salt Lake City, I intend to read every single post!
Our next host will be Miss-Elaine-ious, RN and submissions can be sent to “misselaineious1 at gmail dot com” or through Blog Carnival.

Bet you are wondering why I’m at the airport!
I’m goin’ to the NASCAR All-Star Race this weekend, complete with tour of garage area, pit area and a VIP event with Dale Jarrett!
I’m going to be in the same venue as Kasey Kahne (sigh!) and plan to boo Kyle Busch off the track. Arrogance personified, that man is!
Should be a blast, as I am going with my friend from Jr. High; my husband calls us Thelma and Louise.
I have so much to blog about, but Benadryl, Meclizine and blogging do not mix.
I’ll blog more when I get to Salt Lake City!

My daughter just woke me up 90 minutes early.
She knows better than that!
What on EARTH was so important that I had to lose my beauty sleep before a 12-hour shift?
She was admitted to the nursing program at her university! They begin as freshmen! Just like that, she called, said she was interested, she had taken all required classes in high school, and she is now a part of the School of Nursing.
I knew she was sort of interested, but I never expected she would actually do it!
I’m absolutely stunned!
Remember the post about the University of Portland nursing graduates?
Well, in four years, that will my my daughter walking across that same stage.
I’m going to buy her a cap and put ribbons with UP colors on it. Oh, she’ll never wear it of course, but at least she will have it.
And I’ll make sure it ranks a 10/10 on the Emergiblog Cap Rating Scale.
Proud mama here, folks!

Whoa, is this channeling the ’70s or what?
Well, it is a “groovy” way of announcing that this week’s Grand Rounds is being hosted by David over at Health Business Blog!
And finally, after many weeks of screwing up deadlines and forgetting it was Tuesday, Emergiblog actually has a post in this week! Yeah!!!!!
Now, if you’ll all join me in singing the theme for the Partridge Family…
