Because I do this:
I'm require to take:
ACLS (Advanced Cardiac Life Support)
NRP (Neonatal Rescusitation)
CPR (Cardiopulmonary Rescusitation)
TNCC (Trauma Nurse Core Cirriculum)
PALS (Pediatric Advanced Life Support)
If I want to keep being this:
And doing this:
It's getting in the way of me doing this:
And it's taking space in this:
And apparently I only use 10% of it.
These certifications are due every year, two years or four years depending on which class. Somehow I've "managed" to have ALL of these classes due this year!
I know, I know.......call a Waaambulance!

That is a Holy Moly Crap Load of classes! It hurt my head just to read the names! But I sure know who I would want in the hospital if I should ever need these service!
Good Job Tauna and I hope you are getting lots of chocolate and some sleep!!
Here's a {{{{HUG}}}} for you today my friend:$
Have a Goodie!
I have the same problem. All of my required trainings are due within the same 2 months. It sucks.
That's a lot of classes for one year!!!
Once passed I think you need to come to GA. for some R&R!!!!!!!!
((HUGS)) and prayers!
well good luck in getting those done! we need you to be able to take care of us when we are sick, or stupid or both.
One of these days, I wanna be "TFTCOTB" (The first to comment on Tauna's blog). *sigh*
Okay -- so the nurses hafta do all this crazy certification -- do the doctors too?
Hey! What if we came up with a momma certification?? I could invent a bunch of bogus acronyms and charge a crapload of moola to get the certificates. aha -- I feel brilliant! You in? :)
I always hated having to take those classes for our foster parenting certification. Dr. Hubby isn't fond of it either.
We want you to be able to keep up on your 'ask a nurse' skills!!!
Okay, I'm gonna sympathize for one minute and one minute only.......
Okay, minute's up!
Without skilled nurses like you, I would be dead. I love that you take the time, do the work and stay certified. My life depended on you and yours.
So, um, I guess that's all I gots to say.....thank you!
Now, feel free to carry on witchurbitchin
Chocolate...it will help...and prayer...good luck with all that, you are a smart girl! Come say hi :D
Wow, that's a lot to remember. But I would for sure want to have you around, just in case.
Having Nurses as sister in laws.. I feel for you Woman. I'll call the waaaaambulance for you.
~ After those tests.. do something happy for yourself like a vacation to Utah or something. :)
We can even go to Ikea! lol!
This too shall pass. :) XO
PS: I met Wendy today! Woot!
That is a lot of classes, wishing you the best. Hugs
WOW, sounds like a brain overload!
Good luck and best wishes to you! What a great friend to have around! What lucky neighbors!
Enjoy some chocolate!
I guess that's why they pay you the big bucks. Sorry it's due all at once. Did I ever tell you that my oldest daughter is in nursing school? She loves it.
Quick, what do you need? Chocolate? Cookies? I'll send 'em to ya!
You can even babysit if you really want to! ;D
Too bad you have to do all that but those of us who need your care appreciate your diligence!
That's why you get paid the big bucks! wink, wink
I think you use more than 10% with all that crap I just read. Anyway it's good to have people like you around in case we end up in the E.R.
Sorry, that does not sound like fun to me...........
Waaaaambulance . . . so cute. That stinks having everything come up at once. I hope you make it.
OH MY WORD!!!! Gives me a headache just thinking about it!! GOOD LUCK! Keep a piece of chocolate in your pocket. It will get you through anything!
YIKES....that's alot of classes.
Obviously I could never be a nurse....don't do well with Math and Sciences....
let alone all the blood and puke and puss stuff going on.
I have majored in 3 MRS. classes and I am DONE now I believe. (tee,hee)
Tuff stuff on your agenda dear! You have every right to be CRANKY.
you over-achiever, you!
;)
I think I would be pulling my hair out and I know I would be cranky too. Good luck in getting all those done. BTW..I loved all the cute pictures you used for this post. You are such a fun lady!
I was there Wednesday. You learned some good things. It was fun to see some of you oldies but goldies.
I sooo know what you mean girlfriend! All of mine are due this year too, except for the TNCC (because I'm not quite as COOL as you are, YET) plus with my PALS I have to do the full course. So not looking forward to it.
Good Luck!
LOVE YOU
Ahhh I remember those days. Now why do I feel cranky all of a sudden?lol
:)God Bless

That is hilarious!! You crack me up. I hope you are back to feeling better.
WOW! Just having to do my CPR/AED re-certification, I thought I was going to have an aneurism. Good luck!
All in the same year! You sure didn't time that right did you!?!
I only have to take 2 of those courses and that's bad enough. I couldn't imagine otherwise!
I don't know how you do it all - and still have a sense of humor! :) Hang in there. Cupcakes are usually my Rx during times like these. :)
ha ha ha ha ha
I lub the call a Waaambulance! hee hee hee
That is a whole lot of certification, girlfriend! DANG! I know who I want to be around if I ever almost die.
I don't think my brain could handle all those classes, but I sure appreciate the fact that you stay on top of all that stuff.
Good luck.
Forget "might be" and embrace "will be"! Like everyone said--so glad you do all this mental gymnastics but wish it wasn't all at once...
UMMMMM wow... another reason why I stay away with anything that makes me continue to learn... hehehehe
ay yi yi!!! Good luck with all those certifications! We'll be here when you're all done!
You're so awesome for being a nurse though!!!! YOU SAVE LIVES!!!
Yep, they used to run us through the certifications at school too. Ya just never know, I did have to use the Heimlich on a fishing trip on a fellow teacher....hot dog! I can only imagine the lives you bless.
Have a terrific Tuesday filled with blessings!!!
Oh NO! You poor thing. I really, truly, really truly and really feel sorry for you. But nurses rock and I'm glad there's people like you in the world to take care of others. You rock. You can do it!
