The title of this post has absolutely nothing to do with the subject matter. So there. It is true though...
For the last several weeks I have honestly forgotten all about this lonely little blog. It's just been one work day after another after another and really weird hours. I feel like gumby most of the time. I am "officially" done w/ orientation this week. The breakdown of orientation is 1 week admin hospital HR bull-you-know-what, 2 weeks in all the ICU's (there are a lot of icus. also taken into consideration was that I had 6 months of exp. w/ my clinical rotations in the icu), 2 weeks on the floors (charting 101, time management studies, supply closest wandering, and learning 10 million nurses names), and last, but not least, 1 week in the ER.
Whew. I'll have pretty quirky working hrs for the rest of the summer because I said I could work basically anytime. I don't think I'll seek out another prn position for now. I know of a hospital that I can easily get prn a job at, but I can't see one of my managers letting me take 6 weeks off when I have been quite handy in scheduling.
I think most of my coworkers are now o.k. with me being a rrt because there are new students to look at, I'm not a terrible drain on their time anymore and sometimes prove to be helpful, and most likely just don't care. I'm learning so much from all of them, and I can't thank all of them enough.
Anyway. I'm drained from the fun-filled day of ER...I wish I could write a whole break down of my day right now but I need to get started on dinner and let my dog out. Adulthood is... trying to get enough sleep at night in....never seeing my friends....a juggling act...trying to be responsible and not killing my plants or my dog...realizing that I've got a ways to go before being an adult sinks in.
Future posts include:
-Paramedic that bagged and did compressions simultaneously (woh. props)
-Supply closets revisited
-How to address an NP or PA the right way
-My conversation w/ crackhead frequent fly guy(ESRD/HIV/Bacteremia/if it's a medical problem, he prob has it). He will be used as a case study to highlight my thoughts on why our medical system is currently messed up.
I'm sticking mostly w/ the clinical aspect of my life for now. I still would rather be anon. and I'm prob. going to re-edit some posts for more security. I don't think my rt blog would be a problem as long as all my patients are "jane doe" and OF COURSE entirely hypothetical stuff that is a combination of many patients. Gotta keep my tush covered and all that comes w/ that.
As far as the personal life is concerned... nunya. For now.
