No, it's not the end of blogging as Monkeygirl is doing, it's the end of the year. And what a year it's been!
In the news today, I saw an article about the vaunted rumor that there will be no more free pens at some of the conferences because of perceived conflicts of interest. What, oh what, I ask, will the docs and NPs bring to impress the floor nurses with now, since there is no more swag? An old, leftover pizza from that drug rep's lunch just doesn't make the same impression as the light up pens and the pens with highlighters AND post-it notes attached. I guess we like them because they're things we can actually use.
As the year counts down, I'm thanking my lucky stars that I came to the VA from Saintarama Rehab. The top three reasons: no low census, no low census, no low census! Some of the things that go with the job aren't the greatest, but that benefits package is great considering everything in these recessionary times.
Finally, I'm thankful that I still have this blog. It keeps me out of trouble and keeps my mind humming. I have so many ideas for next year, I ought to be busy!
The end is near, but this is just the beginning...so stay tuned and have a great night!

Ah, yes. Because pens are the biggest part of our worries. Maybe if we eliminate the symptoms the cause of the problems will go away!

Very true. I liked the comment in the article that suggested docs should wear patches like NASCAR drivers on their sleeves.
It just makes you wonder...are they worrying about the patient or what the drug company will pony up in speaking fees, staff luncheons, etc.
