I don't have a lot to say to the blog world tonight... Last weekend B came here to visit and we tried several good restaurants and went to a minor league baseball game so that was really fun. This week I have started my first rotation in the SICU. It is an open unit so the team I'm on is a consult team which is a new experience but overall I got to start off without too many patients and I think I have a decent handle on things so far. I had to work my first weekend alone this weekend which means 1 down and only 17 more to go. Hazah :-) But seriously, I worked with an AWESOME technician this weekend and although I had some weird stuff come up I feel like I did a good job and no one died. I do however still have the fear when leaving that I might have done something terribly stupid, but after a year of practicing as a pharmacist I'm pretty sure I'm being careful enough that I didn't actually do anything too stupid. Here's to hoping :-)
I don't really want to go to work tomorrow but alas, I must. And not only must I go, I must go early. I saw today that I have a couple new patients that I don't know anything about so that means I have work to do before rounds tomorrow. The funny thing is, even though I've had a couple of 12+ hour days, I'm enjoying it for the most part. I mean, don't get me wrong -- at 10 hours or so I'm working hard to get my ass out of the hospital but I feel like I'm doing good work and I feel like I'm learning and that makes me happy :-)
Hard to believe a month has gone by already... In a lot of ways I hope the year does go quickly so I can get back to being in the same city and state with B. I knew it would suck but being away from him most of the time is just a lot crappier than I even anticipated. And that's my complaining limit for this post. :-P
On a lighter note, I have some pretty cool co-residents and overall I'm having a good time. I am excited to see where this year will take me. I think that's all I have to say for now.
goodnight folks.
p.s. only 328 days until I become a real person. not that I'm counting or anything...
