Certain phrases don’t score well with certain group of people. Such a phrase in  the nursing industry is “the State is coming.”

With such an announcement starts thorough preparation, a failure of which might lead to the citation or closing of the facility. But with it too comes many complications, mostly to the nurses and majority CNAs.

In the end, one or all of the following takes place:

1. Some decide to stay home.
2. All work extra hard as compared to other days.
3. Some work under too much pressure.
4. Mistakes are very minimal during the inspection.
5. The reporting at work greatly improves.
6. When all is done, there is a sigh of relief and a desire to not see state officials any time soon thereafter.

When the “State coming,” all must prepare whether they like it or not. Come to think of  it, it’s part of the job requirement, but it puts too much pressure on some people.

For a long time now, a call has gone forth that “the Lord is coming.” What has surprised me over the years is that not all that many people care about it. And so, I wonder, why are so many so indifferent to the coming of the Lord of the universe?

Just wondering!
