Barrett Jackson '08



If you watched any of the Barrett Jackson car auction last week on Speed..you saw this boat. No, that's not me in the pic but I was there. I love being in Scottsdale in January. I cannot get enough of the cars. I remember watching it years ago before I started traveling... and just thinking how great would it be if I could go and see all those cars. And, now I've done it three times...I could walk around there for days. You could tell people are holding on to their money this year because not many cars got over $500,000. Still, it's a fun thing to do.

Work is going well, I am getting in all the extra hours I want. The floor is laid out well and they are all private rooms. No more taking care of the patient in the bed by the window and the one by the door, who is someone else's patient, asks you for something every time you go in the room. The patients are mostly cardiac, there's a little med-surg thrown in there for fun. I can't tell you how nice it is to take care of an uncomplicated cath pt or even better and AICD or a pacemaker. Yeah, the patient turn over is pretty quick but, I love it. The charge nurses are very helpful and my coworkers are friendly. I had to float the other day and they were even friendly. There are quite a few travelers and most of them are Arizona residents. It's interesting, some of them have been there over a year..pretty unheard of in other parts of the country.

The apartment is very nice and quite. It's great having our friends in walking distance. We are headed to Vegas the end of next month...lots of working till then.

First do no harm.
