The Holiday Hustle

Tis’ the season to be busy. Christmas blew by like the wind. I vaguely remember the day to tell you the truth. The first time in 5 years I had the day off (worked the day before and the weekend after)! So it was nice. Visited with the families, ate too much, drank too much. Fun to be had by all.
School semester ended on a great note – I got a 4.0. To add icing to the cake I scored a 100% on my term paper for one of my classes. For anyone who follows me on Twitter or Facebook you probably heard my belly-aching about that darn assignment quite often this past fall. I was pretty psyched about that grade. I busted my @ss with that paper.
This Spring semester will be a tad difficult to say the very least. I’m taking 10 credits! Whew. The really awesome part of this next semester? I graduate in May with my Bachelor’s in Nursing (BSN)!!!!! So this hellish-type semester will be all worth it in the end.
Work is awesome. I’m finding my niche, getting my groove back. It’s been a year since I was full-time in the ICU at the bedside, boy did I miss it. There were plenty of things I DID NOT miss.. but a ga-zillion things I truly missed. I love working with the patients, I love the adrenaline rush when things are going bad (not that I want things to go bad- for anyone!) but I love the thrill. I find myself quite the ‘code whore’ if you know what I mean.
My co-workers are the bomb. I actually have fun at work- imagine that. There are always drawbacks and negatives to ANY job, but the positives massively outweigh the negatives in so many ways. A great set of co-workers, a fair and pleasant boss, the docs (for the most part) treat the staff well and with respect. I’m lovin’ it.
Bloggin’ is as bloggin’ does. This blog has suffered a huge blow with me and my time. Most of my posts are quick whip-like anecdotes I find on the internet, or a brief jotting of thoughts that pass me by while I’m on the computer surfing the internet. I do apologize for that. The main reason for that is my other Bloggin’ gig. If you remember I now blog as the Male Nurse for Scrubs. I’m posting at the very least twice a week –and it’s all about nursing. So this blog takes a back seat when it comes to my nursing blog-thoughts. If and when I blog here, it’s leaning more towards fitness and health. Not that that’s a bad thing. It’s just what it is for now.
I’m really trying to make a good balance, but with school, the new job, the holidays, etc, the balancing act is harder than I thought. After this week school starts up in another week. So who knows where things will go.
I’ve given some serious thought to flashin’ my Scrubs posts here so that you can enjoy them as well. I don’t think I’ll be infringing on any copyrights as long as I site the proper source etcetera.. etcetera.
I hope everyone’s holidays have been safe and merry! Can you believe it’s going to be 2010! Wholly jeepers!
I wrote the actual date 2010 the other day at work and then again yesterday at work. Wow is that weird. I guess I’ll have to be more mindful when charting and writing – just like we all did at the turn of the millennium!
Who would-a thunk it.
Happy New Year everyone! Be careful out there.
