Can you tell I'm feeling quite proud of myself today??? I mentioned a week or so ago that I had to renew my NRP certification which is the certification I had for work when I worked NICU. Even though I'm not currently working NICU I didn't want my certification to lapse as I also need this if I work mother infant and who knows if I will decide to go back to NICU (currently is a possibility). So I had picked up the book last week and was a little worried that it would be difficult since I hadn't used this at all in over a year. I was surprised at how much I remembered of this stuff though. So today I had the actual class. I had to take the full class as I had procrastinated too long and couldn't find a renewal class but that was ok. So I did the written test and got a 100% which made me feel really good. NRP is done. Well then I talked to my recruiter and they were getting a bit concerned that my CPR was expiring in about 3.5 weeks also. He told me about a guy who does this online/on the phone. So I called and got the info. Did the online test part in about half an hour then called back (the guy was really impressed that I was already done with the test part since we had just talked) and we went through the practical portion of it on the phone and I have now managed to also renew my CPR on the same day!! Yay!!!! I don't have to worry about that for 2 years now. Such a nice relief to have all of that done and taken care of in such a short amount of time. I loved the CPR thing. So quick and easy.
Not to much else going on. I am supposed to go back to the doctor tomorrow to see if I can get released back to full duty at work. My neck is getting better slowly. It still hurts some but is better than it was last week. I still haven't seen a physical therapist because it seems to be taking forever to get approval for that done which is stupid. So I don't know if they will release me to go back to work tomorrow or not. Then hopefully I'll be driving to the bay area and will get to meet Mel.
I also got a list of all the lab stuff my RE wants me to have done and I have to get ahold of my doctor at home and see if he will order this stuff for me and if my insurance will approve it if he does as I am guessing this might all be super expensive if I pay for it myself. I am also guessing if just the RE orders it they will deny all of it. Insurance stuff is such a pain in the ass. Otherwise my life seems sort of dull right now.

AWESOME to get those both done, and on the same day!!!!
Wow! You rock girl! You definitely are Wonder Woman!
You're awesome, congrats and keep that feeling going.
That's great to get both of those done! I always dread having to get my ACLS, PALS, or CPR. Speaking of those - I better go check and see when I expire :-) I'm hoping you get released back to work for today - that would be great!
You are totally wonder woman! I can't even draw blood and blog and comment on my fave blogs all in the same day (look at you showing me up and all that)! :D
Miss ya~! A
Hmmm, I bet my CPR is coming due soon as well. Yuck. That's cool that you were able to get it done online and on the phone though! We have someone in our office that does it and we HAVE to spend four hours on a renewal. =(
Wow, you ARE Wonder Woman! Very impressive that you got all that accomplished. I bet it feels great!
Awesome!
Congrats on getting your stuff done! That has to make you feel good!
