school work

2011-10-01T15:14:00.002-04:00

Grad school. . . lots of work. . . but I snuck a little comic drawing into a group project on philosophy of science!

Are you for real?

2011-04-26T20:37:00.000-04:00

I try hard to honor and respect people's different beliefs, I really do. But sometimes, it makes me want to scream.

how do you show love?

some people are dumber than they look.

At Long Last!

This summer, we are doing psychiatric and community health rotations. It takes a certain kind of strength! Here are some thoughts on doing psych. (Don't let me forget to draw about nursing in Thailand soon!)

Sorry for the delay.

2008-07-06T22:22:00.002-04:00

I've been busy. I have to draw pictures about Thailand and my psych rotation. It's in the plan, don't worry. In the mean time, here is my excuse!

Patient Education

2008-05-01T19:51:00.004-04:00

I just finished my pediatric rotation. Much to my surprise, I liked it a lot! Maybe it's just that I'm more confident in my skills now, but I think I actually managed to help instead of just getting in the way! Next on my agenda: I am travelling to Thailand with the nursing school, and then this summer I have rotations in psych/ mental health and community health. Keep checking for updates!

Phew. . . finally finished with OB!

doodles on vacation

2008-01-13T17:34:00.000-05:00

so i got a wacom tablet for christmas (thanks, dad!) and i'm slowly figuring out how to use it (and photoshop). and here's what happened on vacation!

Sleeping Like the Dead

Squeaking in another one before the year is done! Thanks to Max for the title.

And we're back!

2007-10-01T21:34:00.000-04:00

I don't post new drawings as often as I'd like to because, let's face it, nursing school is a lot of work and I'm busy! But when I find the time, drawing is a great way to think more about things that happen-- and plenty of things happen!

Easing your fears. . . and mine.

2007-09-08T16:41:00.001-04:00

Sorry about the delay! New classes, new clinicals, new schedule! And new responsibilities, which I assure you I am perfectly qualified for. Aren't I?

What if . . .?

2007-08-27T00:00:00.001-04:00

Even when I'm sure that I love what I do and I know that it is the right path for me, I still have doubts sometimes-- not that I love it, but that I am somehow allowed to do it!
This is a doodle that crept up on me over my break from clinicals and classes at the end of the summer.

Nightmares

2007-08-23T15:38:00.000-04:00

I did these crude doodles the day before my first clinicals to calm myself down a little bit. Only some of my fears came true. And it wasn't so bad-- my first few days were in a nursing home, and after that in a hospital. I'm happy to report that the nurses I was working with all seemed to remember well what it's like to be a new nursing student-- an experience not shared by all of my classmates. Most important lessons so far? A little bit of respect and a willingness to do scutwork go a long way.

This comic is a retelling of trials and tribulations past (or, before nursing school, when I had time to do things like drive to Tucson!)

Welcome to Nursosaurus, and get ready for some nurse comics to come.
