Yesterday Zach resisted his nap. Finally around 3:30 he went to sleep. Today he was up and playing in his room at 5:30 a.m. Is he at the age where he may not take a nap? Let's hope not. Waking him up from sleep is awful, but I am going to try to limit his nap time today.
As I write Zach wanted to watch an Elmo video on the computer. I went to the internet, which was not the movie yet, and he says, "Oh, come on." Then when it took a few seconds to get to Elmo he said it again. Think he learned that from Dad or maybe Mom.
I accepted a job offer from John Knox Home Health. I had to turn it down yesterday because they have a new high deductible health insurance plan, effective 1/1/12. It requires families to pay $6,000 for medical care and medication before being able to access cost savings from insurance. That sure would limit my use of medical care, so I can see why that would appeal to a business. I bet more businesses start doing this. As screwing the little guy is the mode of operation for them anyway, the low-deductible health insurance plans we have all had are a bit unusual. I'm surprised they have not figured this out before. For John Knox Village, that crap just lost them a good employee.
On the same day, I received a call back from the recruiter I interviewed with at Carondelet Health, which went really well. Carondelet operates St. Joseph's Medical Center near I-435 and State Line, AND St. Mary's Medical Center in Blue Springs. St. Mary's Medical Center is one of the first community hospitals, meaning not a big hub, to receive Magnet status. It is very hard to receive Magnet designation. It costs a lot of money and means that it is an excellent place for a nurse to work. Still hard to think of leaving KU, but family life is tougher with that commute. Thinking of the future, this health system may have better opportunities for a nurse practitioner. KU has been slow to accept the role because it has so many interns.
