Nursing is pretty awesome sometimes. It opens doors. Like last week, we took a field trip to the Port of Oakland. We went up in the cranes that take the cargo containers off the big ships and get them on land. So crazy cool. We were there looking at the crane operators from a occupational health perspective. Because the crane operators have to get in to a difficult physical position and have a very stressful job, they need occupational nurses as advocates for their health.
Cool stuff. Especially when one of my sweet classmates asked the engineer, "do you think any of the containers are full of heroin?". Ha. Check the photos
