Change is Coming and Kidney School

| life | navy | medicine |

May 1st could not come any faster. I am going on leave for thirty days and its going to be great. Chicago, family, relaxation, not having to deal with the every day issues of NNMC Bethesda is going to be a well needed and deserve break. It will be my first real vacation in over two years and I cannot wait.

But unfortunately all of that will be short lived as on May 30th I am reporting to Naval School of Health Sciences in Portsmouth VA for Hemodialysis Tech School.

I have been keeping myself busy reading up on Kidneys. I am really looking forward to getting through this school and moving on to my next duty station so that I will be able to finish up my college and move on with my medical career. :)

Thank you for reading! Share your thoughts with me on bluesky, mastodon, or via email.

Generated and suppressed demand.

Eight years ago, I wrote about my theory of restoring struggling teams, which came down to four steps: A team is falling behind if each week their backlog is longer than the week before. Solve by hiring more. A team is treading water if they’re able to get...
