Busy week activities

Olde Towne Vet Clinic, Pinckney St., Charleston, S.C.

Even our Vet Clinic is kinda cute, isn't it? This is the Olde Towne Vet Clinic next to the horse barn downtown. I used to take my cat to this clinic.

How come almost every day since I moved off the peninsula I've had to drive into town for a meeting including the afternoon it poured rain? Does that seem fair? I wasn't supposed to have to worry about flooding anymore. Hmmmph.

Crazy week with ups and downs. It was Nurse's Week and since we have hundreds of nurses on staff we make a big deal about that. They had a "decorate a nurse's hat" activity and wore sparkly, festive hats all day.

They celebrated Florence Nightingale's Birthday with a party and fundraising activities for Nursing Scholarships and yes, some of them still had their old white uniforms or wore vintage outfits.

A "Blessing of the Hands" ceremony was held for the nurses.

....and we had fun with a Florence Nightingale photo op....

whooops.....that was an old urinal I had in my closet as a prop ;)

We were happy to celebrate "Floyd Nightingale" as well. Heheh. Times change!  I hope you hugged a nurse this week!

Nurses Week Festivities

Charleston, S.C.

The nurses at the Friendly Little Hospital across the River, hold a contest each year to Create a Nurse from supplies on hand. Check out bed pan head! You have to spend a little time close up and personal to realize the creative work that has gone into these new staff members.

Although they left these characters at their stations, the rest of the nurses gathered under the oaks in the garden this evening to celebrate earning Magnet Hospital credentialing. Woohoo! I do work with an impressive team.
