Thank yous and sweet and silly things

First, thank you Katy Katz for featuring this blog in your list of 24 nursing blogs you need to read in 2014. 

I also want to thank our recent group of visitors from all over the globe, especially a few brave souls from Iceland. I've never been there, but Iceland's definitely on my list of places to see. I'm reading a really cool book called The Athena Doctrine: How women (and the men who think like them) will rule the future,  and it has a great story about Iceland in recent years in it.

Today was a very good day. I was busy running reports, analyzing them, and going to meetings. The nice thing was that work actually got done.

Next, I saw one of our patients today who was put on C-diff isolation. Felt like old times (and happily, it did not smell like c-diff at all). I did a little patient education for this sweet 80 something year old guy and complimented him on using his moisturizer on his hands (which is really a part of his rehab, too).

Finally, the sweet and the silly combined when I read an article about sugar free gummy bears. The best part of the article was reading the actual reviews from customers about them. Since we have some people at the Hotel who don't really believe this happens if you overindulge, I may just have to print them out and leave in our group room and our nurses' lounge.

Maybe someone will get the hint. If not, I'll just go buy a bag and leave them out.

Ah, so many sugar free candies, so little time...stay tuned!
