Christmas rerun while I wait for my Christmas Eve Chinese food. It all started on Christmas night. It was pretty quiet; we were hanging out in the waiting room watching a very boring movie and chatting when I noticed that the ancient, chipped Nativity set on the small table next to me seemed somehow incomplete. "Hey", I said to nobody in particular, " did this Nativity come with a Baby Jesus?".

That last post was so I could add one more than last year. But I just wanted to add to my post of a couple of days ago in which my family member experienced the joys of the season in the ER.

He sees me heading out to triage, and rubs his hands in gleeful anticipation.

Auntie is my fav charge nurse on the 3-11 shift. I've known her for years, we work well together. She says really great things about me on my annual evaluation.

Why Menopause Should Matter to Today’s Employers

Speaker: Julie B. Chavez - VP, Strategy & Alliances at Carrot

An estimated 1.1 billion women worldwide will have experienced menopause by 2025. Symptoms like hot flashes, fatigue, and anxiety can be incredibly disruptive — and last for years. But despite its massive impact, little is being done to support those going through menopause in the workplace. In a recent survey, 70% of respondents said they have considered changing their employment to better manage symptoms — perhaps because only 8% received significant support from their employer related to meno
