Two weeks from today, March 13, I will be taking the Certified Tumor Registrars Exam. Needing this certification is a new addition to my job description. I can do my job without it and can keep doing my job without it, but in order to advance and get better raises I need the certification.
I will be spending the next two weeks reading about Cancer Registry Operations, statistics and reviewing medical terminology and anatomy, among other things. And I am here to tell you, this is riveting stuff people!
The whole process has been incredibly vexing - first I had to get the approval to take the test ( I don't have the exact right education although someone somewhere was smart enough to realize that a biology degree and an English degree are just as good as certification as a phlebotomist), then came the finding of the test site to take the test, then there is the studying and the money and well, you get the idea.
Poor Mr R has been very patient and understanding during these trying times.
So in two weeks, I will be feeling less anxious. I will find out immediately after taking the test whether or not I passed. Keep your fingers crossed for me.

Good luck on the test!
