Sure, I was off, but most of my days were doing paperwork. It was nice to go outside periodically when I wanted and drink coffee whenever I wanted, which is relaxing.
I've learned a few things lately:
1. Gonna have to get creative on financing for grad school...don't you just love regulations (and I'm sure someone's going to say "It's the economy, stupid.")?
2. Learned a few more things about research nursing. I joined a journal club in the area and got together with some local nurses, one of whom I met recently before the meeting. We had a great dinner and talked about Kaplan-Meier curves and hazard ratios. Just remember: it never hurts to network!
3. You can powershop in a hurry and sometimes get lucky. Even with the heady material we had to read, I had a great time and since I didn't want to get lost, I got to the restaurant early to check out everything, then I went and scoped out the local, swanky shopping mall. There were sales galore, so in the last few minutes before the meeting, I found something. I'd show you all the link, but I'm saving it for my anniversary, and I know for a fact someone who reads this blog would click on it just to see it. (Yes, Dahey reads this blog...)
Anyway, should be a fun day at work...more to come.
