Maybe it's all of the pregnancy hormones....
I have had this idea for the last year (well the last two years-- Nellie knows my idea
), but haven't acted on it because I am shy and chicken. 
I guess afraid of the idea being shot down or rejected.
NO MORE! I am taking action, and I have started to put my idea into motion. I have decided I want to organize a Spouses/Partners Association for the Residents at the University of Washington. I contacted last year the President of Medical Partners at the University of Iowa on advice on how to organize, even if it is small to start, a group similar to theirs.
I emailed the President of UW Housestaff Association this morning! I have to admit I am nervous. I hope it works out. My next plan if a) I don't hear back in the next couple of weeks or b) there is nothing organized, then I am going to start recruiting, ie- emailing all of the residency program admins at UW requesting that they forward my inquiring as to who is interested. I actually feel really good about this. I feel it is time for me to either forget about this idea or put it into action. I wanted to do something like it at Univ of CO, but didn't.
What do you think? Am I crazy? Anyone have any more suggestions for getting this headstarted and off the ground? I have a folder of stuff that the UI Pres sent me.
Thanks in advance,
Crystal
