Hi. I'm new, and this is my second post to this board in the whole 15 minutes I've been a member. :rolleyes:
So...my dilema: Divine intervention/message? or "accident/crisis" prone?
I'm not a nurse, but, for, *ponders* the last 20 years (nope, not a typo) especially, I have been thrust into just about every "non-immediate-doctor-required" I could imagine.
I do NOT wear scrubs or "badges" or carry anything resembling a medical bag or have bumpers stickers and whatnot on my car or person or paraphernalia(sp?) BUT...people stop me...literally grab me, and ask me things. weird things...
"how should i handle constipation?" (pregnant woman...about 7 months along)
what can i do to help my cough?
do you know what these bumps are on my back?(as they hike their shirt upin the middle of the isle in wal-mart...)
oh... and, two of my favorites...
what does a hemorrhoid look like? (as they appear more than ready to drop their drawers in a public place)
Can you come look at this? I dont know if its normal (lady in the bathroom pulling me towards her stall)
ok...while your thinking those over, remember....I am not a nurse or Dr. , nor do I LOOK like a nurse or Dr. (at least in my opinion) and I do NOT carry anything that would imply that i'm either a nurse, or a Dr.
This year alone I have been on the scene of three accidents (one was a fifth wheel that flipped and rolled with a family of 6 inside the truck), taken care of two teens who wrecked their bike(motorcycle) in the woods outside my home, helped a man out of a burning house and helped him with his injuries, have delivered a "stuck" baby goat, cared for numeroous injured and sick animals(chipmunks, baby rabbit, lizards, a snake that was hit by a trimmer(*ew), three puppies given up for dead, a chicken,...etc.etc. I have been at 4 births (three in the hospital, one on the way to the hospital) helped an older man who's pace maker was acting up on him (he just grabbed me, so i helped.) until paramedics could arrive, and other smaller things.
It's been like this for 20 years...and I'm thinking I may take the hint and see if I can muster up funds, courage and time to go through nursing school...at least.
...that, or...go see a psychiatrist. *grin*
both??
does this/ did this type of stuff happen to any of you?

? Doesn't sound like a reputable school to me at all.
