over-prepared

ok, so.......i spent way too much time and effort preparing for the 2 inservices i gave at the local hospital today.....on diabetes ketoacidosis......or rather.....i lost too much sleep over the questions that might be asked.......like how much regular insulin per kg of body weight in the iv based on fingerstick blood glucose......oy.....i could have slept an extra hour and done just fine......maybe it was the nurse thing.....dietitians tend to feel less than nurses......despite the fact that most nurses have only 2 year degrees and most dietitians are masters prepared......and so i travel to lexington for the next two days to study chronic kidney disease.......for the record, dietary management of kidney disease is the single most complicated juggling act there is.....protein, sodium, potassium,......the only good news about the training is that i will have 2 days to do shopping in lexington with mileage paid.......and so....what shopping do i do..... i will be downtown...near cdcentral.......with no clue as to what to buy........and near major bookstores.....such decisions.....but i digress from the professional rant......it is good that i am in a position to offer knowledge and experience........so close to home............
