Planning

Lots of things in my life require planning.

1. Getting patients cleaned up. This sometimes is a mess. Luckily, I had one guy ready right as the docs came by and was able to talk to them about changing his dressing orders with the wound nurse. Why you ask? Because it's a whole lot easier to talk about what would be best, when an area is clean and you can see everything going on there.

2. Finishing my class for the semester. I talked to my prof yesterday as part of a planning meeting (see part of the theme) and realized that I really need to maximize the lunch time I get. How am I going to do it? I've got to escape..or go to lunch early. If I don't do that, I get shortchanged. Shortchanging right now is not a good thing.

3. Surviving the day, despite planning, can go awry pretty quickly. I just cross my fingers and go.

And off I go...stay tuned.

So close...

I'm so close to being out the door for the weekend that I can taste it. My travelling partner will be getting ready a day ahead of me, so I am jealous! Will have to run errands and act crazy packing things up for the household right before I head to the airport.

Nevertheless, it's a lot of work, but I'm glad to be getting out on the road again. Creating and presenting material at conferences is fun!

How fast can you run?

To get two patients, up and out of their rooms, to therapy, and get their stuff moved so Bob, your favorite housekeeper, can get the waxing crew, in and out?

Never fast enough...arrgh!

At least, they'll have a bright, shiny floor today. Thanks Bob!
