I really feel like I'm in one of these

Two words: Dilbert comics.

Here are some of the classic quotes. "You want THAT? I'm not going to jail!"

"I'm not in charge of credentialing." said the human resources director of, you guessed it, the credentialing department (every hospital has one!)

Yes, I'm really sure they won't take you to jail for doing your job, which is not illegal, immoral or even fattening.

Stay tuned...

There is a God in Heaven...

At least for me...the planets have aligned and I've been given what I'm due. The scholarship program I was enrolled in (and thought I'd lost when I went to the SU) has to be given to me. Program director told me recently, "You earned it, they (meaning Human--aka Useless--Resources) haven't changed anything for you so I have to give it to you."

The psycho woman can't take that away from me if she tries. Relief! Yes, it was indeed a Happy Monday!

Stay tuned.

Charging on

Yes, I'm out of the charge nurse racket for another bit. Thank heavens!

It was reasonably pleasant on the last round of Charge-o-Rama, even though RPIA LPN  tried starting a riot by mentioning all the lazy people I had on my shift. Really? I replied. I'm keeping everyone busy, myself included, and we still had time to sit down.  I was just thrilled to death I didn't have her to schedule around now that she's on light duty for twisting her ankle. (Thank you boss!)

I'm still in holding pattern re: my future in a new position at the Hotel. It looks good, but  I'm not holding my breath. HR around here is slower than dirt, and to top it off, they're even advertising on TV more lately. I'm sure my lowly, newfangled Hotel position is way down the list, since they're recruiting ICU and OR nurses, as well as ICU docs on the slick commercials in our area. "Come work at Washington, where we know patients."

We'll see...back to grad student studying while I have some free time today. Stay tuned!
