I hope you are able to find those things that provide you with some time to recharge your batteries. It’s okay to turn it off and make sure you have something in your life that is so far from the work you do, it refreshes you. Our teams need us to do this and often times we have to give ourselves permission.

Those three short days in San Antonio taught me so much. Since I have been back I have been able to hire staff for difficult job openings and with the help of the AHRA forum we are working on restructuring our Ultrasound schedule to provide better coverage and better work life balance for our technologists.

The conversations you had, resonated with my military brothers and sisters about their self-worth and what they will bring to the team once they trade the cloth of our nation for the ones with your hospital logo.
