The holy rhombus of nursing?

Another milestone in my nursing career: encountering vomit for the first time.

I think this means I've encountered all four elements found in the holy rhombus of nursing: blood, urine, poop, and puke.

And, as a onetime sympathetic puker, I'm happy to report that I kept my cool -- even when a little bit landed on my arm.

hahaha, the "holy rhombus of nursing"?? i love it. that's funny. i can handle the blood side of the rhombus, but i'm still a screamy little girl when it comes to the poop side. i don't do poop. unless it's baby poop. (that's different, somehow.)

I'm like the little engine that could -- nursing school style.
