Hierarchy Of Needs

So after my first three day weekend night shift, I've learned a couple of things.

1. I like night shift.
2. I surprisingly sleep pretty good during the day.
3. The further breakdown of Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs.

To expand on #3, this morning after work I took a shower, ate a piece of toast, and went to bed.  About 1pm, I woke up. I had to pee sooooo bad.  And then I had to get something to eat because I felt terrible.  So this is how I would further rank the physiological needs of me.

Interesting...

Then I slept until 6pm when someone called me.  And now I'm blogging at 2:30 in the morning.  I have to work tomorrow night... And Friday night.

The lesson I learned: eat after work, then sleep.

"I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, Lord, only makest me dwell in safety." Psalm 4:8

My First Night Shift

I did my first night shift yesterday.  It was busy!  My preceptor said it was a typical bad night...

Two people vomited.

I hate vomit.

I have two more night shifts in a row.

And I slept pretty good today, so happy!

"But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he mediate day and night." Psalm 1:2

Blood

You know what's amazing to me.  The human body.  Specifically the blood.

Isn't it amazing!?

It's so cool that one second you can stick an IV catheter in someone's hand and infuse fluids into them, and the next second you can pull it out and hold pressure for a minute and the hole clots off and doesn't bleed.  It's cool that you can poke a hole in someone's body and then a minute later the hole is closed.  Clotting factors are amazing.

Jesus said, "Whose eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day." John 6:54.
