Since I'm cleaning the house for the move, I've also decided to get some work done on this blog. There are some amazing people out there who help bloggers out there and I've sought them out (you know who you are!). I've got a lot of ideas and I'm pretty excited.
Please pardon the mess while you're here, but everything will look pretty when it's all done!

When RNs are left to their own devices...
Some of us start doing homework! Yes, that's right. Since many of our current continuing education items are now in the VA's much-vaunted LMS system (learning management system), we're playing catch-up whenever there is a free moment.
I did my required items recently, so I helped my coworkers to log into the system. It's amazing how people complain about the system not working, especially when they won't read the startup instructions.
Besides the goodies in LMS, we often have educators drop off sheets to read on our lunchroom table. Once you unearth them from the hubris, you can get those learning items done, too. One of our recent ones was about a new feeding pump, which had a very nice DVD, which I just popped in one of the PCs and watched the other night.
Outside of those learning activities, I decided to check out a few other things when I had a spare moment. Stay tuned and I'll have more goodies later this week!

Nuggets for May 5
Yes, it's Cinco de Mayo, folks. Sorry, no tacos, but I did find a few things of interest in the realm of the dismal science, economics, recently in my adventures in the blogosphere.
BTW I'm still waiting for my economic stimulus check. Hope you've got yours. Enjoy it, spend it, or save it, because it's yours!
Enjoy!
M.D.O.D. had this post about universal healthcare called Bar Stool Economics.
FatDoctor talks about how much fun it is to be on call in this post called Highly Paid Intern.
Yes, folks, there is even a publication called Nursing Economic$ (Yes, the dollar sign is supposed to be there).
This link to their Continuing Nursing Education articles gives you a look at some of the issues discussed in this magazine.
If this list of goodies has whetted your appetite for more economic-related material, check out this site for more links to all sorts of economic topics: http://economics.about.com/
