The dilemmas I've faced this week.
The first one was the dreaded certification renewal (one of them, anyway).
Getting a nursing certification is a little like qualifying for an equestrian event: lots of jumping over obstacles and looking perfectly put together.
After months of combing all my files for CE certificates to put in the application, making sure my membership was updated, then filling in the rest of the application and credit card info, I sent it off. A few hours later, I got the "we're reviewing it" e-mail.
Today, I got the all clear. I'm renewed for another five years. The hamster wheel starts again...
The last couple of days, not throttling some of my coworkers about the US presidential election has been another dilemma.
For those of you not in the know, we not only elected a new president this week, we will, on Bubba's birthday, January 20th, inaugurate the nation's first reality TV star, thrice divorced president married to only the second non-US citizen First Lady. Some of my coworkers want to talk about it all the time.
I'm not one of those people. We give out blood pressure meds for a reason at the Hotel. We're not supposed to be inducing conditions that will send people into rehab.
However, I'm looking forward to the weekend. I'm celebrating my favorite US veteran, Dahey.
Happy Veterans' Day to all of you who have served!

Congrats on the certification renewal! I've never done one of them, but I know they are hard work...your patients and coworkers are lucky to have a nurse who makes the effort!
I know what you mean about politics at work....adding more drama to a workplace, especially in health care, is never a good idea!
Thanks! Yes, drama is best left to the professionals...on a stage, and over in an hour.
