The Day I almost Died

On an unbearably hot day with everything and everyone sweating, I was helping my mother with chores around the house.

room and told me to put my shoes and coat on. Instinctively, I went to

Once me and my friends Jimmy and louis,we went to an abandoned jail,but before we I did a research on it and people have been there and they hear people yelling ,stuff falling and stuff breaking. people hasn´t been in the abandoned jail for years the last time people went to the jail cell they said they saw a little kid walking past the jail cell. The day I am going to the Jail cell i was getting chill from my whole body and when i got there me and my friends are just standing in front of the building and just staring at each other waiting for someone to make a move but I am the first one to make move into the abandoned jail and my friends following in.we all chill when walked in but 15 minutes later we are just walking past the haunted

I completed my seventh and eighth shift during the nights of !0/14 and 10/28. Both nights I had a fairly heavy patient load caring for four patients each night. The census on the unit was also relatively high. The first night I had a patient with septic shock, a man who was experiencing chest pain, blurred vision and periods of near syncope, a woman with CHF exacerbation and hypoxemia, and finally a woman with hematuria with a history of chronic kidney disease stage III. The second night I was assigned 59 year old man diagnosed with rapid A-fib with a history of COPD, CHF, and cardiomyopathy, a 52 year old woman with a lower GI bleed with anemia status post colonoscopy that day and had a history of breast cancer with left mastectomy, a 53 year old woman with sepsis and necrotizing fasciitis from her right buttox to her vulva, and 81 year old woman with fungal pneumonia and SIRS. On this shift I performed many actions like performing a wound dressing change on my patient with necrotizing fasciitis, performed hygiene care, administered medications, performed head to toe assessments, called the doctor regarding critical information, and assisted in range of motion exercises. In a lot of my interactions I continually saw how necessary forgiveness is in nursing. One interaction in particular was when I was cleaning out the wound on my patient’s buttox and vulva. The wound was so deep that it was excruciatingly painful. We premeditated her giving her a bolus of dilaudid and she

The first step is to preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Then, combine 2 cups and a tablespoon of flour in a mixing bowl along with a teaspoon of salt and baking soda. If you enjoy fluffy, lighter cookies, then I would suggest sifting the flour. This eases the combining process of the flour with other ingredients in the dough and eliminates the risk of lumps in the finished product.

In order to make cookies you need the following ingredients: ¾ cups of granulated sugar, ¾ cups of packed brown sugar, 1 cup of softened butter or margarine, 1 teaspoon of vanilla, 1 egg, 2 ¼ cups of all purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon salt, 1 cup coarsely chopped nuts, and 1 package (12 ounces) od semisweet chocolate chips (2 cups). The first step in making cookies is to preheat the oven to 375 degrees. The second step is to mix the sugar, butter, vanilla, and eggs. Then mix in the flour, baking soda and salt until the dough is stiff. Next step is to stir in the nuts and chocolate chips. Next, drop round tablespoon of dough, two inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet. To get perfectly round cookies use a number 16 cookie or ice cream scoop and level of the dough using the side of the bowl. The last step is to bake the cookie for 8 to 10 minutes or until the cookies are light brown and the center is soft. Let cookies cool, then remove them from the cookie

Errors that could not be eliminated includes the fact that measurements are not precise,and the varying temperatures of the oven used. Because measurements are not precise, it is very unlikely that two cookies will be exactly the same, making it harder to reach an accurate claim. During the experiment we discovered that the oven had been set to a lower temperature than the 375° F specified in the procedures. This caused cookies to become undercooked without realizing is as to the fact we were following the procedure of leaving the cookie in only for nine to eleven minutes.

When you bake cookies, a thought that might come to mind is “When a recipe has 2 eggs the cookie rises more, but when a recipe has 1 egg the cookie might stay the same height.”

A memorable day I will forever remember is the day I went to the Blackhawks parade when they won the Stanley cup in 2015. I started that day by getting all my clothes ironed. I was so excited for the parade I wanted to look as fresh as possible. I remember going to the market to get ice sodas for the trip because it was going to a very hot day so I needed to stay hydrated. As I finished getting my stuff ready to start heading to the train station my mom gave a hundred bucks to get me through the day if I wanted to get anything while I was in downtown Chicago.

I woke up drenched in sweat at 7 o’clock as mum came into the room.

It was a hot day. I was about to go to recess and I knew I was going to sweat. I didn’t have a sweater just in case I got cold because I doubted I would, plus, it’s the beginning of Fall, it’s not the time of year to wear jeans, long-sleeve shirts, and sweaters.

It wasn’t until the morning of Saturday, May 21, 2016 that I realized what the true feeling of unconditional love was. The moment a parent looks into his or her child’s eyes there is just so much love it’s unbelievable. People think they know what love is when they love a significant other, family member, or a close friend; however, that love is nothing compared to the love a parent experiences the day his or her child is born. That is the love I felt the moment I placed my beautiful baby boy on my chest.

The day I met Nathan, he was a baby and I was six years old. I had met babies before. They were all so playful, expressive and active. Nathan on the other hand was very quiet, constantly stuck out his tongue, and seemed different. Nathan has Down syndrome. I was curious about the pink scarring on his chest. Even to my young eyes, I knew that was not supposed to be there. It was that day I learned my first lesson about medicine. Until then, I naively thought everyone was born perfectly healthy. Unencumbered by the myriad health issues of this condition and blessed with a supportive family I was free to pursue whatever I pleased. Instead of playing house, I played doctor. The wonders of science became my obsession; I started dressing with a stethoscope and white coat to play with Nathan. I wanted to help him like my doctor helped me when I was sick. As we grew older, Nathan’s verbal skills did not improve, mostly communicating through grunting and a version of signing. I would go home and brainstorm ideas for games I could play with him. Frustrated I could not do more, I had this compelling urge to keep trying. I would try something new every time I met with him and I began to realize that I was having a much more genuine impact on his childhood and adolescent life as time went on. My first true platform and exposure in the medical field came from and experience starting with a girl named Grace.

One of the scariest moments in my life happened within seconds. I have lived in the house we are in now for about 10 years. It’s a four story stucco house with a pretty big back yard and a sided two car garage behind it. Then one day just like that, everything had changed. I never

“the thermostat is stuck at 80 degrees... the thermostat is right over here if you could come in” i said.
