Boom Boom... Pow!

With all due respect to the Black Eyed Peas, that is kind of what life has felt like for me lately! My life as an Interim Clinical Manager is quite busy. As I think about it though, it is not like my previous roles left a lot of down time. This is just a very different kind of busy. I love rounding on our families. It is when I get to see all of the kids and parents at once, hear their stories, and really get to know them. It is a compelling time. Even if it is a child with a short length of stay, I know I can learn something from their story. It is what I truly love. I know that I can answer questions that will help fill in the gaps, or maybe just repeat the same information so it sinks in a little better. Each interaction means something to both of us. I think if I feel that, surely a parent does, too. I have a different role with my staff now. I would like to think it is helpful to them that someone who knows how important responsiveness is, will be “taking care of them.” They know I take the responsibility seriously. So as more things, more responsibilities come at me like they are shot out of a cannon, (hence the “boom boom pow”), I say... bring it.
