Jeez, the month of December is over and I realized today that I did not write one single blog the whole month.
No excuse other than not making the time to do so.
I let life (particularly work) get in the way. The hospital where I have been working relocated us twice during the month; each move with its own set of nuances and complications (viewed as challenges – not problems by yours truly).
A wonderful, inspirational buddy of mine had made the suggestion prior to these moves to, “get yourself a latte machine or a basket of good teas…” Sue, I took your suggestion and all I have to say is, “Merci beaucoup.” Nothing quite like a good mug of tea with a squirt of lemon and a dollop of honey, eh?
Last evening colleague Vicki Glow and I were on the Jordan Rich Show, WBZ-Boston, 1030AM radio (nice range, 38 states). The topic was ‘prescription drug abuse.’ Of course due to addiction being such a multi-faceted issue the conversation weaved in and out the designated topic. Look for Vicki & me to do more this spring.
This past week found me interviewing with a hospital closer to my home for a position similar to my current one but with more opportunities to grow and develop as a professional. All parties involved are excited about the possibility of my coming on board (patient states, lol). Pending HR approval I should be receiving an offer in the mail this upcoming week (based not on my ego – based on the nurse manager asking me how soon I can start, again, lol).
I start back to teaching the first week in February and really look forward to it as always. I have been researching both the ‘pro’ and ‘con’ side of the “Suboxone” debate. In a future column I will present both sides of this controversial issue with corresponding links to articles that look at both the empirical studies and clinical observations.
This should raise quite a ruckus I imagine.
Well, I need to get back to working on my website and attend to a couple of syllabuses for February.
To my French Canadian Friends, “Jusqu'à ce que nous nous revoyions!
Peace, Out
