Timeless truth

You can observe a lot by just watching. ~ Yogi Berra

We got an e-mail recently saying the Hotel (and Washington and Madison) was becoming a "smoke free campus".

Supposedly, there was a campaign (not run by our crack public affairs officials) about this big news. I found out about it in a meeting earlier this month, and the nurse executive said, "This shouldn't be the first time you are hearing about this."

Sadly, it was. While I don't smoke myself, it does make things challenging for our patients that do.

Miraculously, someone got Ye Old (stress on old and clueless) Public Affairs person(s) to post this information for patients on our website and social media. It starts January 1.

The grumblings are loud and rowdy at the Hotel because our patients did not get a designated smoking area, nor did our employees. The nearest one is in the building next door, which is a long walk.

The best quote on social media, however, was truth.

"The last time I checked, no one could smoke inside Washington or Madison, so how is it that you weren't a 'smoke free campus' already?'

I'll just keep watching...stay tuned.

You know you're back in nursing school if...

1. You need to provide your immunization record to take one online course. No exceptions.

Hope I don't give anyone a communicable disease.

I was exempted from the meningitis shot, though, since I don't live on campus.

That is all...more to come.
