tell me a fact I'll remember, tell me a truth I'll believe, tell me a story and it will live in my heart forever ❤️

May or may not have helped save the life of a sooner football player yesterday. You’re welcome sooner fans

You know it was a bad day in the er when the day started with 5 nurses sticking a 13 month old 20 times to get an iv started and that baby still got stuck 20 more times over 2 hours.

[Karlena Davis @karlenadavis]

Just a side note. When a nurse is asking about what meds you take we typically don’t know the strength (mg etc) by the color of the pill

[Karlena Davis @karlenadavis]

Got to work today and our entire ER is full except for one trauma room. Let’s hope there’s not a serious event.

14 days till I’m back in California!!!! Not that I haven’t been counting down the last 90 days or anything since I booked my flights or anything.

[Karlena Davis @karlenadavis]

I don’t recommend taking two online science classes while in the middle of starting a new job and moving to a new house/previous state and while having to car shop. There’s too much to do all at once and not enough time or sleep.

Moved back to Oklahoma this week. My heart misses California but bring on OU Children’s hospital!!

[Karlena Davis @karlenadavis]

You know the move is getting real when you are doing a video call/walk through with the moving company. My heart is so sad to leave California

[Karlena Davis @karlenadavis]

Got a job at an OU Pediatric Clinic. Wasn’t excited about moving back to Oklahoma at all but this new job makes me excited. Confining my pediatric journey.

Thank you to whoever dropped off a flat of commercial grade fireworks right outside my house on the street (outside my window) lit them and drove off that was a nice wake up call. Thank you so much.

Happy Father’s Day to all the father figures out there. Thankful for all the men in my life who have filled various parts of my life and help make who I am today.

[Karlena Davis @karlenadavis]

A parent made me tear up last night when she found out I was leaving my job towards the end of the month. She knows how much of a bond her child and I have and she’s bummed to see that end. And man, so am I.

[Karlena Davis @karlenadavis]

It feels exciting and horrible to say to I’m probably moving back to Oklahoma in September. But you better believe come winter time I’m picking up a travel assignment back here in California. You cannot beat the weather out here. Or the landscape.

I have not talked to my dad in over a year but this weekend I have talked to him everyday with my mom being in the hospital and it has brought back so much stress. So thankful she's doing okay though and so thankful for my work fam.

[Karlena Davis @karlenadavis]

You know it's a good thing you work with kids when the staples in your diet are goldfish and mac and cheese. Also, telling your mom you're coming home in a month is a mistake. She will text you non stop.

Saw a billboard for a church that said love during lockdown. Ummm sounds more like promotion for a prison dating app

[Karlena Davis @karlenadavis]

Helping a one year old through one seizure let alone four seizures in one hour makes for not a good day. But when he comes through them his smile is the most precious thing ever.

[Karlena Davis @karlenadavis]

One bad thing about working as a pediatric nurse and working with the same kids 24/7 when they have a bad day/week you have a bad day/week. My fav (which you're not supposed to have) is not doing so well and is breaking my heart

[Karlena Davis @karlenadavis]

I have officially all 22 MCU movies and am almost done with the x-men series. 2020 thanks for letting me catch up on all the movies I missed over the years.

[Karlena Davis @karlenadavis]

The thing I love about my job. When one of my kids is upset and just.needs to held so I wrap him in a blanket mainly so I don't get bit give him a bottle play moana and pray for him and just smile at each other. Its the little things.
