What do wildlife and nursing have in common?

Behavior. The study of wildlife and human behavior are simply the same. We watch our patients to see how they move, react and respond so it became a smooth transition to paint wildlife and learn more that I can share with others.

After all, nurses have this embedded need to teach and share. What better than to blog about the 4-legged neighbors we share space with? Of course, I'll find it necessary to ramble on about some health concerns.

Number One; wash your hands!  Don't worry about the animals. Worry more about what you are about to put into your mouth when you haven't washed your hands  after you've pushed that shopping cart all over the store or picked up several items at the department store.

Yes, it's tempting to plop a grape, or warm french fry, into your mouth on the way home but I assure you, germie cooties await your eager swallow.
