Immunized with a taste of our own medicine

So I thought I would post this out of pure enjoyment for the viewers.  At the office this week we had a day where we all immunized each other and got Cold Stone afterwards as our reward (no stickers and suckers here!).  As you can see we all started out chipper and ready with all our shots drawn up, then things started to go down fast from there.  
This is the way nurses learn to empathize...
It is as fun to give shots as it looks.  Why do you think I became a nurse?

Not to scare you or deter you from your next round of shots...
This is just to prove that even nurses are big babies behind closed doors.  I was just glad I didn't have to pry anyone out from under the table like we usually do with our little patients...but it wouldn't have surprised me to have to do so! 

At the end we were all smiles but definitely on guard for the dead arms we all promised we'd give each other.  
P.S. I have quite a soap box on immunizations so be grateful for me sparing you the speech.

OK! This is totally off topic, but I need your help and I don't have your email anywhere. My sister Megan is still up in P town and she is looking for a great gyn but has no clue how to find one. She is not enrolled this semester so she can't utilize the health center on campus. My qustion is do you happen to know of a really great one I could refer her to? She would prefer a female. Let me know if you have any ideas!! Thank Katie! aheatherminer at gmail . com

Recently, I packed up my Western self and moved out East to a little place called Virginia. My parents relocated out here about 2 years ago, so it was time I check out VA for myself. It is in the DC metro area, so we spend lots of fun time in the city or in the country. I am still working as a pediatric nurse and looking to maybe move towards the non-profit or political side of health care. I gained a new family member in the form of a Chinese exchange student named Donna, and I love being with my parents again. Life is good.
