00:01 Hello 00:01 and welcome back 00:02 I'm going to 00:02 show you a day in the life of a hospice nurse 00:03 and welcome 00:03 back 00:04 I'm going to 00:04 show you a day in the life of a hospice nurse 00:05 This is me 00:05 making my clear protein powder that I put in 00:06 my water. 00:06 It is 00:07 blue razz 00:08 flavored. 00:09 I like to make that 00:10 in the morning 00:11 because I don't really eat 00:12 breakfast. I'm not 00:12 really a breakfast person at all. 00:13 This ended up going really badly though 00:14 as you will see 00:15 in the next clip. 00:16 Definitely put me off 00:17 on my morning 00:18 for sure. But 00:19 we're not going to let it get us down 00:20 because we are lucky. 00:21 Lucky girls. 00:22 Lucky girls. 00:23 We are lucky girls. 00:24 And we are going to make this work. 00:25 We are going to take our medications. 00:26 So these are 00:27 my supplements. 00:28 I take El-theanine 00:29 every morning. 00:30 I take magnesium glycinate at night. 00:31 And these are lemon flavored. 00:32 When you start chewing them up, they're really not that bad, 00:33 but eventually they get a little bit 00:34 tangy and tart. 00:35 And so they're a little difficult to get down. 00:36 And then I take my mental health meds. 00:37 00:38 This is the other protein shake that I bring with me 00:39 and then my protein water. 00:40 00:41 And we go out the door. 00:41 I have to be to work by 8:00, 00:42 so it normally takes me a few minutes 00:43 to get going. 00:44 00:45 And then today 00:46 was a lovely 00:47 rainy, crazy day. 00:48 So this was just a morning though. 00:49 It did end up clearing up throughout the day. 00:50 00:51 When I get to work, I get on my computer, check 00:52 my schedule for the day. 00:53 I go ahead and 00:54 write down some notes on my patients. 00:55 00:56 I use my field guide that I was telling you guys about. 00:57 And then I go and print off their med list 00:58 and all their paperwork. 00:59 01:00 01:01 01:02 01:03 01:04 01:05 01:06 01:07 01:08 01:09 01:10 01:11 01:12 01:13 01:14 01:15 01:16 01:17 01:18 01:19 01:20 01:21 01:22 01:23 01:24 01:25 01:26 01:27 01:28 01:29 01:30 01:31 01:32 01:33 01:34 01:35 01:36 01:37 01:38 01:39 01:40 01:41 01:42 01:43 01:44 01:45 01:46 01:47 01:48 01:49 01:50 01:51 01:52 01:53 01:54 01:55 01:56 01:57 01:58 01:59 02:00 02:01 02:02 02:03 02:04 02:05 02:06 02:07 02:08 02:09 02:10 02:11 02:12 02:13 02:14 02:15 02:16 02:17 02:18 02:19 02:20 02:21 02:22 02:23 02:24 02:25 02:26 02:27 02:28 02:29 02:30 02:31 02:32 02:33 02:34 02:35 02:36 02:37 02:38 02:39 02:40 02:41 02:42 02:43 02:44 02:45 02:46 02:47 02:48 02:49 02:50 02:51 02:52 02:53 02:54 02:55 02:56 02:57 02:58 02:59 03:00 03:01 03:02 03:03 03:04 03:05 03:06 03:07 03:08 03:09 03:10 03:11 03:12 03:13 03:14 03:15 03:16 03:17 03:18 03:19 03:20 03:21 03:22 03:23 03:24 03:25 03:26 03:27 03:28 03:29 03:30 03:31 03:32 03:33 03:34 03:35 03:36 03:37 03:38 03:39 03:40 03:41 03:42 03:43 03:44 03:45 03:46 03:47 03:48 03:49 03:50 03:51 03:52 03:53 03:54 03:55 03:56 03:57 03:58 03:59 04:00 04:01 04:02 04:03 04:04 04:05 04:06 04:07 04:08 04:09 04:10 04:11 04:12 04:13 04:14 04:15 04:16 04:17 04:18 04:19 04:20 04:21 04:22 04:23 04:24 04:25 04:26 04:27 04:28 04:29 04:30 04:31 04:32 04:33 04:34 04:35 04:36 04:37 04:38 04:39 04:40 04:41 04:42 04:43 04:44 04:45 04:46 04:47 04:48 04:49 04:50 04:51 04:52 04:53 04:54 04:55 04:56 04:57 04:58 04:59 05:00 05:01 05:02 05:03 05:04 05:05 05:06 05:07 05:08 05:09 05:10 05:11 05:12 05:13 05:14 05:15 05:16 05:17 05:18 05:19 05:20 05:21 05:22 05:23 05:24 05:25 05:26 05:27 05:28 05:29 05:30 05:31 05:32 05:33 05:34 05:35 05:36 05:37 05:38 05:39 05:40 05:41 05:42 05:43 05:44 05:45 05:46 05:47 05:48 05:49 05:50 05:51 05:52 05:53 05:54 05:55 05:56 05:57 05:58 05:59 06:00 06:01 06:02 06:03 06:04 06:05 06:06 06:07 06:08 06:09 06:10 06:11 06:12 06:13 06:14 06:15 06:16 06:17 06:18 06:19 06:20 06:21 06:22 06:23 06:24 06:25 06:26 06:27 06:28 06:29 06:30 06:31 06:32 06:33 06:34 06:35 06:36 06:37 06:38 06:39 06:40 06:41 06:42 06:43 06:44 06:45 06:46 06:47 06:48 06:49 06:50 06:51 06:52 06:53 06:54 06:55 06:56 06:57 06:58 06:59 07:00 07:01 07:02 07:03 07:04 07:05 07:06 07:07 07:08 07:09 07:10 07:11 07:12 07:13 07:14 07:15 07:16 07:17 07:18 07:19 07:20 07:21 07:22 07:23 07:24 07:25 07:26 07:27 07:28 07:29 07:30 07:31 07:32 07:33 07:34 07:35 07:36 07:37 07:38 07:39 07:40 07:41 07:42 07:43 07:44 07:45 07:46 07:47 07:48 07:49 07:50 07:51 07:52 07:53 07:54 07:55 07:56 07:57 07:58 07:59 08:00 08:01 08:02 08:03 08:04 08:05 08:06 08:07 08:08 08:09 08:10 08:11 08:12 08:13 08:14 08:15 08:16 08:17 08:18 08:19 08:20 08:21 08:22 08:23
