Quater 2 is over and I'm still in a bit of a whirl...although considering that it just ended for me today that's not too bad.
I've spent the last 3 months caring for patients in acute care. Some were recovering from recent surgeries, others were recovering from serious medical conditions such as heart attack, renal failure, cholecystitis (inflamed gall bladder), and my personal favorite, MRSA.I gave injections, hung piggy-back IVs (yes, Robin, finally), handed out medications, changed dressings, and Most Exciting...watched 3 surgeries!!
At work I dealt with a director on medical leave, and a leadership staff that dropped from 6 strong and steady individuals to 3 leaving me and two others in charge of the pool, the department, and swim lessons for HUNDREDS of children. (yes, that's one of the students)
We didn't fall apart but by the time the director came back we were more than ready to go OUT!!
So what's next? Q3
6 weeks in pediatrics
THEN
6 weeks in labor and delivery (babies!)
