This photo was taken at the Florida Aquarium in Tampa while on assignment in St Petersburg, Florida. When looking at this picture, it almost appears as if you’re looking at four turtles rather than two. I think this is a great representation of the different species you encounter while exploring the sunshine state. Enjoy!

Any pediatric nurses here?

I was just curious if we had any staff RNs who work in a pediatric hospital? I’ve been a RN for almost a year now and I’m trying to plan a move in the next year or so. My kids are heading off to college and I’m considering a move to a warmer climate and wondered about pediatric hospitals in certain states. I’ve also got travel nursing in the back of my mind. Any input would be appreciated! Thanks!

Faith

A couple of nuns who were nursing sisters had gone out to the country to minister to an outpatient. On the way back they were a few miles from home when they ran out of gas. They were standing beside their car on the shoulder when a truck approached.

Seeing ladies of the cloth in distress, the driver stopped to offer his help. The nuns explained they needed some gas. The driver of the truck said he would gladly drain some from his tank, but he didn’t have a bucket or can.
One of the nuns dug out a clean bedpan and asked the driver if he could use it. He said yes, and proceeded to drain a couple of quarts of gas into the pan. He waved goodbye to the nuns and left. The nuns were carefully pouring the precious fluid into their gas tank when the highway patrol came by.

The trooper stopped and watched for a minute, then he said: “Sisters, I don’t think it will work, but I sure do admire your faith!”
