First Day

It went pretty well actually.

There was much agonizing over what scrubs to wear (not the Snoopy ones), whether or not I should wear make-up (I didn't), what to put my stuff in (plain school bag), etc, etc.

I had an orientation shift today and I have one again tomorrow. I don't know if I just caught the unit on a slow day, but it was incredibly chill. My NA took a 45 minute coffee break and an hour long lunch. (Day shifts are from 0700 - 1515, but we get paid for 7.75 hours). And there was a good chunk of time that was spent just sitting/standing around.

I felt rather guilty cause I wasn't doing very much. Most of the patients were independent, so I passed time by filling up oxygen tanks and stocking supplies.

I got an official ID tag - employee number and everything.

And the best part is...

That it looks a million times better than my student picture. :D

Workaholic

So, starting tomorrow, I work 11 straight days. Thursday-Sunday at the market. May 9th-11th at the hospital. And four more days at the market. Followed by the regional orientation on the 16th, which isn't work but attendance is mandatory even though I don't want to go because it will be super boring.

I've probably never worked that much in my entire life.

Oh well... Money :D

I guess I'll have to go to bed early.

Let's see how good my time management skills are...
