Now I know why...

The Hotel requires fluent nurses, since you just have to ask ahead of time.

I guess they were so busy that the nurse manager didn't get an interview and just did not pick up on that little tidbit that most likely would not have escaped notice in a verbal interview.(scratches head)

Wow!

The story of the numbers

I read in the paper today that if the debt ceiling is not raised by August 2, there will be lots of trouble, according to economists. As a Govermint employee, I'm thinking I may need to beef up the emergency fund and plan a staycation for this summer, instead of that cross-country trek for Bubba to see Uncle Ray and his kids out East.

Ahem...back to the interesting numbers. As an escaped business person, I'm always looking at numbers, and as a rehab nurse, too. We got labs, input, output, pressure ulcer sizes, TED hose sizes, you name it.

For fun, I always read the stats of this blog. Some of them are not entirely numeric.
Since this lil' blog has kept stats (about 6 months after I started) here are the numbers:

Total    33,273     
Average Per Day    35     
Average Visit Length    1:19     
Last Hour    1     
Today    13     
This Week    245    

I am also fascinated by the places my visitors come from. Here's a recent sample:

State of Ohio (state.oh.us)

Federal Aviation Administration in beautiful downtown Atlantic City, NJ (www.faa.gov)
No wiseguys...looks like they just came over from my friend Maha's place (pakazoid.blogspot.com)

Kuwait National Petroleum Company (www.knpc.net)
Did my bro-in-law tell them about me? He's a FOBbit now, so maybe he did that while waiting for his food at TGI Fridays.

Last but not least...
Some nice person in Adelaide, South Australia using on.net found this blog on google by typing in label bubbling.

No matter the numbers, no matter where you are, thank you for stopping by. Come on back whenever...you never know what I'll serve up next!

Stay tuned...

A shout out to the A-team

No, not that one, but I have been noticing lots of visitors from A-named places: Austria, Australia, Aruba, Alexandria, Arizona and even occasionally Austin.

At this point in time, I wouldn't mind visiting any one of you...especially Aruba and Australia, since you all will be warm and toasty there compared to RehabLand.

As always, thank you for visiting. Off I go for a day of accreditation excitement. Me, my boss, and the chief nurse. Can't wait to get it over with...stay tuned!

Change of Shift is up in Australia

Head on over and see what Ross has running on his Nurse in Australia blog. Enjoy this installment!

Shout out

Hooray! Vacation! Vacation! I just thought I'd drop by to share those thoughts. Lots of thoughts actually are whirling around in my head right now. While it's another semi-staycation at home, I'll be putting the fingers to the keyboard reading and writing. I'd like to say hi to all the folks I've been seeing showing up in my sitemeter recently, since I don't get too many comments (that moderation thing must scare off some folks).

To my friends in Picardie, France...
Salut mes potes! Soyez le bienvenue...merci de votre visites hier et aujourd'hui. J'aime la France!

...and in Quebec, la belle province...
Je t'ai envoye mon pote americain pour manger de poutine! Attention!

To my friends in the southern US...
Hey, y'all, thanks for visiting. I gotta find me some grits now that I had a patient from N'awlins talking about them all night last night. Hope y'all come back now!

To all my Aussie friends, especially in Sydney...
Thanks for visiting. One of these days I'm coming your way.

And finally, to all you anonymous people...
Thank you, too, wherever you are.

More to come...
