Is life moving too fast?
Thanks for hanging in there in the past few weeks since I’ve not updated here. Things have been busy in my practice, at home, and at NPBO. I feel like the days are whizzing by. Can hardly believe it’s nearly mid May!
That said, I’m currently writing up some information on the upcoming Medicare cuts as well as on NPs experience with what appears to be a somewhat shady merchant credit card provider and will have those available to you by Monday.
For those of you who are Mothers…Happy Mother’s Day…

Barbara,
I agree time is flying by! My youngest child and son is graduating from high school on Tuesday, May 13 and it seems like just yesterday he was such a precious baby and little boy almost at once as he started running (not crawling or walking) all over the house speaking in complete sentences and driving us crazy he was so fast to escape us! He’s going to LSU in Baton Rouge and has talked about that since he was a little boy also. My daughter and son-in-law are in for the graduation. They live in Denver now with my granddogs who are both Yorkies and cute as can be! But we miss them when they are gone and soon we will have the “empty nest” that I have dreaded since my kids were small, but it didn’t become a reality until now that my baby boy will be sprouting his wings.
I’m almost glad in a way because the heat has turned up over here and I had to close my clinic and the state board of nursing is trying to give me a hard time about the legal issues surrounding the prisoner I took care of who was raped and that I reported and was subsequently blamed for plotting the whole thing so the blame could be transferred from the real culprits, the jailers, to me and now they are going to try to crucify me and all I did was be an advocate for the patient who in this case happened to be a prisoner. I do not want my children to see what all is being done to me because it is maddening to know that I did not do anything wrong and yet I am being the scapegoat for the entire horrible mess and it angers me. Now my patients are being treated like dirt by other providers they are trying to go to much as they have always been treated except when they came to my office. Medicaid called to ask me what doctor I was referring my patients to and I told them that was a good question since not one of the providers in this town take adult medicaid patients or Medicare without a supplement and so if they could find one please let me know and why haven’t they responded when I have cried for help to provide for all the patients out there who need good care and are instead receiving less than fair care and they had no answer.
Anyway, I digress, and agree that time is going by too fast and in some ways not fast enough.
Sincerely,
Nina
