I was recently having dinner with a friend of mine who is a nurse and was reflecting on the many years of her life that were spent in academia. Her words were, “I’ve been a nurse for about 15 years, and I know the feeling of being at work. It’s definitely the best feeling, but it’s also pretty exhausting.
A lot of my friends are academics, so I’ve spent a lot of my life in academia. It was a pretty normal story of my life: I was a nurse for a while, and my partner and I had a small child.
That’s a really interesting story that makes me think of my own career path. It was something I read about a long time ago that said, “You don’t have to be a nurse. A lot of the jobs you do now are easier, but they’re not as rewarding as nursing.” I’ve always felt that there’s something about being a nurse that makes it easier than a lot of the other jobs I have.
Another interesting story is that I remember reading about how we went into a few nursing homes and told the caretakers what we thought about their care. One of the things we said was, “We think you’re all over the place.” One of the things we said back to them was, “Actually, we think you’re all over the place.” And that made them feel a lot better about their care, which is why they hired us.
Sounds like an old joke, but there’s some good stuff in this story. The caretaker in the story is a woman who was so sick with dementia and other health issues that she was actually having a hard time getting care. Her husband was the one who told us about the story so we could tell it to our patients.
One of the ways that people can keep themselves alive is through their memories. That is why we created Stories that were passed down through the years. The ability to remember is a huge part of being human and we wanted to give people the ability to save their lives.
A great way to remember is by remembering your name. A lot of us have a hard time remembering our own names. We use abbreviations like “PJ” or “PTS” or “SJ” or “JT” to shorten the names that we use in social situations. We forget our names easily, but we don’t forget to use them.
Yeah, we’re also using abbreviations all the time. We’re all too accustomed to using these abbreviations that it’s hard for us to remember when someone calls us PJ, but we have the ability to say, “Hey, I’m PJ”. It’s like, “Hey, I’m PJ, I’m the DJ on this club night”, “I’m PJ, I’m the guy who’s in that movie where you play as R2D2.
Another common way to shorten our names is to use acronyms. While it can be a little confusing and it doesn’t always work, acronyms are a way to shorten the names that we use when we’re talking in front of people or even to our pets.
Its a little confusing because we use acronyms frequently, its just that they usually go by the wrong names. Thats why its so important to have the correct name.
