Free write 2 on Nurse Mary Jo

Free write 2 on Nurse Mary Jo
Donovan temporarily satisfied gentled his tenor voiced demands and looks outwardly at the expanse of his hallway sized bedroom.  Bright lights give fresh air to the gravity of the situation, like an ER patient bound for surgery, both caregivers  glance at their options:A four foot tall walker, a transfer belt,  size 14 black Velcro shoes and a  300 pound man.  "Alright, alright", says Mary Jo taking charge of the situation as the other caregiver stood still prodding her hands further into her polka dot nursing scrubs.  If she could get her hands further into her pockets, maybe she'll lay seize to the answer of this dilemma thought Mary Jo, sarcastically. The caregiver had been of no help the whole week, needing text book instructions on basic nurse care giving:finger pricking, transferring, asking the whereabouts of the emergency kits, taking vitals.  Now Mary Jo had to take charge.
