Ha!

What this kid doesn’t know is that the cup contains Gastrografin for his upcoming CT!

And, he has to drink two more of them!

Check out the look on Dad’s face.

“Sure son, look at me! I’m going to have some, too! Yum!”

Looks like the nurse went to the Generic Hospital School For Nurses.

While I can appreciate the style of the cap, without a ribbon it lacks a certain je ne sais quoi.

Ooo la-la, that was French!

I have been lax in my duties a blog neighbor. Sort of hit a wall a few days ago and couldn’t put two words together for the life of me! Two years (almost) of blogging has taught me that these dry spells are transient and now that the juices are flowing I want to share some things going on around the blogosphere!

My Nursing Jobs.org colleague and blogger, Labor Nurse will be holding a discussion regarding the issues in health care blogging and she would like to hear your thoughts. She said it best in her Nursing Jobs.org column “You’re Being (Web) Paged”:

I am inviting all health care bloggers to submit a post from their blog on the challenges they face in writing about their job. The recent events within the health care blogosphere resulting in the demise of several popular health care blogs has brought to light the issues we must consider. What are your thoughts? Should we as health care providers be blogging? What can we blog about, and where do we draw the line? Send your blog posts to me at labornurse@nursingjobs.org by Thursday, May 31st to be included in my next column.

I’ve submitted a post about non-anonymous blogging. Weigh in with your thoughts. It should be an interesting discussion.
