Good afternoon. I hope everyone is enjoying their saturday. I know I am. This eek has been rough at work.  I am a nurse manager where I work and our annual servey was last week from the State Board of Health. I just took over this position about 2 1/2 weeks ago. i have been through 11 other surveys since I have worked at my facility, but I was always the CNA, QMA or floor nurse. This time I was in charge and responsible for what anyone does on my unit. Talk about nerve racking and so stressful. I was putting in 12-14 hour days. It was dark when I got to work and dark when I left. My youngest child  as been sticking to me like glue since yesterday evening. I am exhusted. But they left a day early and we got a deficiency free survey. Yippee. This is our third in 4 years and 2nd in a row. From what i heard, we have the strictest group of surveyors in our state, so even better. Hopefully things will calm down and I will have more free time. Still learning the ropes at work.

Today was weigh in day at WW. I lost 4.8 lbs. I was so shocked because I didn’t make the best choices this week and did some sress eating as well. Work brought in lunch for the Managers and breakfast some days as well d/t we are unable to leave while surveyors are there. I am so doing the happy dance right now. State is gone and so is some weight. Maybe the stress from the week helped.

Have a great day.
