It feels like I went from summer to winter, going from NY back to Seattle. In a matter of hours, I went from wearing the skimpiest of summer tops and mopping sweat off my face, to long sleeves and a sweater and socks. Amazing, and it’s not long I traveled to the Southern Hemisphere or the North Pole. I don’t really enjoy high heat and humidity, but I was also surprised that I was able to tolerate it better than expected.

Anyway, more later. The only friend I have who’s still working as a nurse told me this simply horrific story about hospital politics, nursing antics and apathy (including their refusal to “get involved” and stick together), and how unions can work against you or prove themselves useless.
