So far my favorite vacation spot has been Kauai, Hawaii. I went there on my honeymoon so it does have sentimental value, but it was really perfect.

I have demanding patients all the time. I don't treat them any differently than I do other patients. I try to give everyone the attention and respect that they deserve. There are different kinds of demanding patients; some are rude, some are overanxious, some just have a lot going on medically. In every situation I try to stay calm and encouraging. I pray, talk to my coworkers or manager if I need help, and go above and beyond to do what needs to be done.

I forgot about formspring for awhile! This is an old question and I think it was referring to the period of time when I had a miscarriage followed by a nasty bout of gastroenteritis right afterward.
Obviously I don't know who asked this question, but trust me I'm not scary and I don't mind an honest question! -
I love celebration meals, like for holidays or birthdays. My favorite meals are always ones where my family is present. The food is probably not good for me, but it is delicious and there is some form of rich chocolate dessert. We are usually at home, although an ideal meal can happen in a restaurant every once in awhile.

Since I'm not even 5'4", being 4'10" isn't a huge stretch for me. Being tall is something I'm not used to, so I'd rather go the short route.

That's easy: Blue Bell Dutch Chocolate. I would marry it if I could.

You know what? A lot better! I think that dogs really have a sense for human emotion because all this week since I've been laid up in bed Oliver has been SO good. Before I miscarried I took him for a couple walks, and even with his bad leg he did great. We can pretty much leave all three dogs out in the house together now as long as we're home, and they're fine outside and eating together too. Oliver is just so sweet, and I can't imagine not having him anymore!

What's helping me most right now is when friends ask me how I'm doing, and genuinely want to know the answer. It means so much to me when they let me vent and cry and talk, even if they can't relate a single bit.
The first day I just wanted to be alone with my husband, but now I crave company. My family has been pretty good about dropping by and providing us with meals. Chatting online with friends helps, too.
Once I'm back on my feet and as time goes by, I think I'd still appreciate friends checking in with me every now and then. I have no idea how I'm going to feel in the coming weeks and months. -
Well, there are a lot of hard parts, although it's all very rewarding in the end. Here are a few of them:
-When I am taking care of a very demanding patient (or more than one). Usually this is because of personality, anxiety, or pain issues.
-When we are understaffed and I get more work than I can handle. Time management and prioritizing become chaotic when I feel things spinning out of control. I worry that I make mistakes during these times.
-Dealing with death, especially when I've become attached to the dying patient and his/her family. -
How did you come to Jesus? I'm a Christian too and love hearing testimony stories. They are so cool!
asked by amblassI would say that my conversion was a gradual experience. My parents are Christians and we grew up going to church and learning from them. My mom says there was a specific time that I accepted Christ, but I don't remember it. Over time as I learned more on my own and had my own experiences I incorporated Christianity into my life.
I didn't ever go through a real period of prolonged rebellion, although there were definite times when my relationship with God suffered. But overall I can't ever remember NOT believing in Christ, but that doesn't make it any less real to me.
