January 3-Back to Work

Today was back to work day, I have been off since Christmas Eve. I love having the holidays off, and having a job that actually encourages it. Those of us who have careers that require you work any of the 365 days of the year get used to working holidays. I have gotten very used to not working them since I have been away from the bedside as a nurse.

Since I spend so much of my life at work, and have been a nurse for so long, everyday moments would not be complete if I did not include moments from work.  I work at a hospital that is seeking Magnet designation-the top "certification" for nursing at a hospital. We will be having our site visit later this month.  I have a nurse on the unit I manage who is our "magnet energizer" Her name is Mimi and she has been a nurse for 3 years.  She designed this magnet board to help get our unit ready for the survey. She is an inspiration to me, she has such high standards, is so enthusiastic, and is very committed to being the very best nurse she can be. The board is all about all the amazing nurses that work on our unit.

On the home front-I love when I come and Cameron is still there entertaining Grampy. As much as I love my work right now, I cannot wait to be home.  Seeing Cameron and hearing his little 2 yr old voice is very special after a long work day.  Tonight he had spilled a little water from the water dispenser on the frig.  He demonstrates what a responsible toddler he is by wiping the water up, "clean up water, Grampy?'

The Christmas tree is down, but I am still collecting all the other stuff.  One of Cameron's favorites is my Jingle Bell Rock Santa. ( I am a product of the '50s after all!) He and I would dance to it when he turned it on.  Grampy caught us as our dance was ending tonight. It will be time for Santa to be packed up till December in the next few days.
Cameron is very snuggly when he dances with you.
