Allowed to work

My supervisor called last night to say that staff could come to the office to work on projects (without patients).  This was allowed because other "non-essential" staff were allowed to work on home-programming for their patients.   For me this meant Net-learning (annual video classes on harrasment, fire safe and pathogen control, etc.), pre-programming hearing aids and going through old charts.   I am officing in one of our booth rooms since my office mate just went to Florida....social distancing!

I can work tomorrow too and then our projects likely will be over.  I also checked and I have 10 weeks of PTO built up.  I probably won't take full PTO because we will likely have to work extra once the clinic opens up...plus I will be covering part of a maternity leave in the fall.  It is hard to plan for the unknown.

Peace!


(I don't work in this building, except to see the occasional inpatient, but I am very proud of this place.  My business card has the Blank logo, since I am in pediatrics.  Before I started, the audiology staff did office and see patients in this building, but we now are in Methodist Hospital...all attached together.)
