The boss told me today it's important to network in your field, if you don't have any grinches (aka the Professional Development committee) at your hospital.
Lately, I've spent way too much time justifying my needs in nearly 50 pages of forms, brochures and supporting material. And if life were really like a Hollywood musical, this would be my song to perform below. (My apologies to David Bowie).
To the committee:
I've nothing much to offer/There's nothing much to take/
(How many more forms can I possibly fill out?)
I'm an absolute beginner/And I'm absolutely sane/
(and I absolutely read every stinking thing in the handbook twice)
As long as we're together/ (me and all the other nurses at the conference)
And to the bureaucratic horses behinds...y'all
(The rest) can go to hell
