Yowzer. I knew it was coming... but my awareness did not soften the blow of day shift. Jeepers creepers it is literally twelve PLUS hours of GOGOGOGOGOGOGOGOGOGOGO.
My first DAY SHIFT (off orientation) on a weekday (not a lot happens on weekends.. it would have been more ideal to have a first DAY on a weekend, but nay-- I got a Wednesday), I got a four patient assignment. Excuse me? Did I read that right-- YES. FOUR patients. FOUR BUSY BUSY BUSY patients. Less than ideal. Thursday and Friday I got 3 kids-- far more appropriate but was still running around like a crazy person and clocked some significant overtime. Whoops. If the overtime was my fault, I'd feel bad-- but it wasn't... so I don't.
BUT I WILL CONTINUE TO GENUINELY WELCOME THE CHAOS because it means I am on days and that means my sleep schedule will be so much more regular. Praise the LORD. I make sure to NEVER complain about how busy it is on days and try (but sometimes (read: frequently) fail) to always appear cheery.
AND-- I found pharmacy allll by myself-- the secret agent way, too, where oyu have to have a staff ID badge to get through several double doors.... Things are looking up.

About Me
This started as a way to document training for my first triathlon and raise awareness and support for Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. I've since completed that first tri and several more after it, so a new layout seems appropriate. Now it's just more my rambling-- more often than not training issues will come up .
