Do it again? Well, maybe

I went to see my internist yesterday. I got my labs back pronto, so tonight I get a note that says "Take Vitamin D."

Yes, that lab was low. I thought the research that said calcium supplementation was hogwash so I started eating more cheese and Greek yogurt.

Too bad that's not fortified with Vitamin D. Yes, Dr. H., I'll be picking up the supplement tomorrow.

For fun, I decided to take an online course through work. Tonight I found out that the superduper steroid version on that subject that is limited to 35 people per session is still open. The best part: I may have to go visit my favorite pharmacist next year, since one of the class requirements is presenting your project at next year's conference.

Joy of joys. Now to just get management approval and apply by the end of the week.

Never ever a dull moment around here.

Stay tuned.

Wrapping up the week...

Where there is no imagination there is no horror.  ~Arthur Conan Doyle, Sr.

The week is winding down and I am enjoying my training and my time on the floor.

As always, it can be a soap opera kind of world at the Hotel. Love and lust figures into the installment this week. Lovelorn housekeeper falls for the charms of one of our artistic characters and wins a transfer to another unit. No fraternization allowed, just like the military, remember?

Another one of our patients decides he may go home immediately if one person comes back. Former roommate made a pass at his significant other and he's not too darned happy.  The guilty party is in another unit, but as always, misses the Hotel and will do whatever to come back to our place. Don't think it's gonna fly this time...I hope anyway.

It could be a November to remember, though. Boss decided to come in and actually talk to me, and let me know I could apply for the part-time position working in one of our clinics. This is, of course, because no one else has yet applied. Another older nurse is applying, so out of respect for him, I'm declining that "opportunity", because he'd really like it. He has a lot going for him, too--over 10 years experience and an affable manner. The Slug may apply, but ON still has a chance at one of the positions available, and I hope he gets it over the Slug, who doesn't deserve it.

Sometimes you just have to say no to one thing to enjoy another.

Back to studying and have a great weekend all.

Rainy days and Mondays

This just seemed appropriate today. I'll be rejoicing later...when the day is over!
