Last Official Post

Hi Gang,

Although I have a feeling many of us will still stay in touch, this is the last official blog post for our course together. I don't have any funny stories about my furry family this go round....Fortunately, it has been pretty status quo. I have taken on a new position with the hospital. I have just been promoted to the new CVIS and PACS Administrator position and am extremely excited about the opportunity. For those who may not know what this is - as I didn't, not so long ago...it stands for Cardiovascular Information Services and Picture Archiving and Communications Systems. In basic terms what I'll be doing is caring for the applications that house the Cardiovascular patients surgical events. I will also be responsible for ensuring the integrity of the cardiac images that during open heart surgery are in tact, and safely and securely moved to the person who needs them as quickly as possible to ensure a speedy diagnosis and treatment. My husband says a pocket protector is in my near future - so if you're thinking the same thing - don't feel bad.

This past week I have been so busy packing up one office in one location and moving about 10 minutes way to another. My hours also change.. Instead of more or less, 8-5pm schedule I am opting for a 7-4pm. Most of the cath procedures start around 6:30am, so I need to be on site, just in case.

What else to tell - oh -I just got a Motorola 'backflip' android phone, and am loving it so far. I can see why guys may not like it... It's a little thicker & heavier - so not so pants pocket friendly. But for those of us with a purse, it's perfect.

I wish you all lots of happiness and only great experiences ahead.. Good luck next term!!!

  1. Congratulations on the new position, that is wonderful. Sounds like the family is all doing well and the "kids" are staying in line. It is sad to think that this is our last post, but I am so glad to be done in this class and ready to move on to the next. I just got a new phone to and I think that it is the intensity from verizon wireless. My husband works for qwest and they sell verizon wireless so I got a good deal. This phone is the same way as yours to where it is not guy pocket friendly. I hope to stay in touch with you and everyone else. Who knows if any of us will have the same classes in the future. Good luck with you life and family.
