RN I have a question ...for the past week a light on my dashboard has been staying on longer and longer ...only in the mornings and it has been like 32 when I leave...so I get out the book..apparently I need coolant...that makes no sense...its cold as heck outside ...wouldn't I need warmant or something?

right now, scooter you need to fill up the coolant as it is a non-freezing element and it helps so that your pipes don't freeze as well as cooling your car's pipes in the summer.

Right now, I told hubby about your "add coolant" situation Scooteriffic. He said the reason you need coolant is because the engines generates heat regardless of the outside temperature. And the engine needs coolant to keep it from getting too hot or running hot. If you lose too much coolant, it's serious. He was concerned because you need coolant. He says it's a closed system so the coolant doesn't evaporate. If you are losing coolant, you need to find out why. It's important.

RN, just checking in from the freezing northern california burg of shingletown. it's just starting to snow again. i love snow! i have drawn 8 blood labs and only missed 1--but the male medical assistant also had trouble on this hep C, collapsed vein, patient, so i feel pretty good about doing blood draws now. i did get reprimanded from an old (73-year-old) nurse the other day for telling a 'dirty joke', which was really just an anecdote about a friend's grandma...when i told the doctor later (who i had told the story to) that i could not tell him anymore anecdotes or jokes, he said, "well, could you write them down and i could read them?" which to me means he was cool about things. there were no patients around and the doc and the male medical assistant and i were joking around when this older woman walked up. i was really pissed that she told me, "you just can't keep your big mouth shut. you have come close to being fired for things you said in the lunch room." i went, "huh?!" to myself. later i recalled when she started disliking me and what day she was referencing about the lunch room. her husband, who is probably close to 80, came to have lunch with her. he was sitting in front of the window with a gorgeous view of the snowy meadow and there was a group of deer outside and the huge pine trees and it was splendiferous...anyway, i said, "wow, what a gorgeous view! if we could just close the blinds and look only at frank, it would be perfect!" everyone laughed, frank beamed, and the wife shot me daggers. i think she has had it out for me since then LOL...but i just keep doing my job and trying to stay out of her way. i don't think they would fire me come my 90-day end of trial period, or anytime before that, either. the gal they hired only 7 weeks ago has missed 7.5 days already. i haven't missed one minute. i have also had to check her injections before she gives them because she almost gave a patient 5 times the dose (5 doses per vial, not 1) and then tried to give a HepB rather than HIB shot. i have been at my job for 9 weeks now and have given well over 100 shots and am getting more okay about drawing blood...although i hate the thought of hurting anyone! each injection and blood draw, i also give the patient a big hug. all have commented they never got hugs with their procedures before. and they all hug back. i'll probably get fired for hugging patients! sheesh... my son came home from san diego for a week and i slept like a baby with both kids under the roof. i swear i smiled from ear to ear for the entire 8 days i got my son up here. i am proud to say he got a B a B+ and an A as his final grades for his first quarter at UCSD! well, i hope everyone is doing well. i wish i had more time to spend here! i feel i am missing so much by only getting here every other week or so. sigh. but i have 4 days off for christmas (no pay for the work days since i won't have 90 days until january 6) and i am going to sleep in at least two of those days and try to come and see what's been happening with all the other TVCHers.
