Work has been crazy, but good. One day after a night shift in May, I woke up to a phone call and it was my supervisor. She asked if I wanted to do day shift. Groggily, I accepted, and I'm really happy that I did! Although the days are much more hectic and packed full of zit-producing stress, I have learned so much more. I've put in Foleys, changed central line dressings, started IVs, admitted patients, administered blood, changed wound vacs, performed dressing changes, and still have been able to draw some labs! A couple of shifts ago, I even figured out there was some occult blood in some dark and stinky poop :)
So now the count down begins! I'm all signed up for my fall classes and I just have to make the move at work. Will they let me stay? Or will I have to give it all up? Other decisions such as where to live or what to do also hang in the air...
I had a film friend recommend a couple of movies that he thought I should watch before school. Gattaca-interesting story, Once upon a Time in the West-pretty cinematography but super slow, and some Hitchcock films were included in his recommendations. I still need to touch the Hitchcock, but so far so good.
The link below will take you to a video I was in from Quiet Dignity. Some film people are in charge of it.
