What's happening?

Thought I would start a blog again to keep all my 'peeps' updated with what is happening in Carolina.  Helloooo!

I just passed my six-month employment date, yeah! - only three left until my really long probation is complete in January.   I've lived in this apartment four months and it is feeling more comfortable all the time - at least a lot of my books, art supplies and other things are here that make it homey.
Missing a husband and a new cat  to love but those will arrive in due time. (for those unaware, we lost KitZilla August 3).

In the last six months I've taken 7 exams and completed 3 projects. Some of the exams were retakes, BUT they were just as nerve-wracking.  I am proud to say that as of September 22, 2013 I am officially Epic certified in EpicCare Ambulatory and Kaleidoscope, in addition to my Health Information Certification I received in 2006.  So, what a relief! Definitely ...it was hard to do all that while still performing job functions.  Since I started later in the project than others did, I have been playing catch-up since the get-go. Things are looking up though.

This project is on the fast-track and go-live is planned for April 2014 with a second one in June.  I'm working with a lot of great people - most of them professionals who came from other departments at UNC. They have never experienced anything like this and are still shell-shocked.  We will make it though!

I've met some super nice people and am making work friends with similar interests. Some of us even want to have crochet get-togethers once the dust settles.   Toodles for now - catch up soon!
