As promised, I have already updated this grid, for those of you who were waiting for it.

…I am posting this today. I know, I know–you’re thinking, Jen, all I see is Algebra (or maybe, Jen, why do you hate us today?). But trust me, scroll down, because there’s a whole biology section, and I don’t know about you, but in nursing school, things like ATP and Krebs Cycle and all that other good stuff made my head hurt. Made me want to lay my head down on the desk and cry. Because they were important, but the prof was dull as dust. However, there are some really amazing, well-taught videos here (including one on DNA), and if you’re a big nerd like me, then all I’m saying is that just maybe, you too will want to learn about electron transport chains over your reheated leftovers at lunchtime.

It’s been a fantastic week, what with the great group we had in Wyoming for our expert testimony workshop, and the appointment of my dear friends and AEquitas partner, Doug, to the bench in Colorado. And even better, I am looking at a weekend of pure play time. Totally needed. That being said, I wanted to post this incredibly moving video, which I’m sure many of you may have already seen on Facebook.

Want to know what post has been read on this site more than any other?

That would be this one. And thank heavens, too…

On the heels of yesterday’s post, I thought it would be fitting to follow it with a fantastic video entitled The Girl Effect. I figured it’s an excellent way to end a productive week, and everyone can use some inspiration now and again. Make sure to check out the organization’s site, as well.

Over at Medscape Nursing, they have an interesting question posed in their legal column: Can I get fired for defending myself against violence at work? The author who responds to this question makes some nice points, and it’s concise and practical. Particularly for our colleagues in the emergency department, this is a very real issue. And to be clear, not just violence committed by patients and their families and friends, but also violence from colleagues (sadly). Certainly worth a perusal.
