Week 2
So today begins week 2 of my 4 week clinical prac experience. Week 1 was pretty good. I did many things I've never done before and have become slightly more comfortable around EKGs/ECGs, although I doubt I'll ever love them. My facilitator is a good bloke and the staff on the unit have been fantastic.
I'm on the evening shift this week, so I have a few hours each morning after getting the kids off to school/child care. Today I did some shopping, made dinner and cleared out my email box, made some phone calls and got the pool going again. Phew! I haven't really touched the 250+ feeds in my feed reader - just checked one or two - and will be pouring through stuff tomorrow. The Hermit is in charge this week of getting kids to their various after school activities - keep your fingers crossed for him! He lucked out during my last prac as he only had to get Her Majesty to swimming. Now he's got footy for 2 kids, plus one day of swimming, plus a teenager who may need a lift home after work, plus a busy 2 year old! Should be fun. At least I'll be helping him out by making dinner every night for him to reheat (for which I had to give instructions on how to perform this mystery of reheating dinner).
So with any luck I'll get caught up on some posts this week. Not today, as it's already after noon and I still need to get stuff done before I head off to prac. But tomorrow look for new stuff, possibly a mid-week Photo Friday and Skinfest to make up for missing the weekend if you folks are agreeable.
Now it's time to down more caffeine and get back to it! Where'd I leave my cape???
4 Witty Remarks:
Oh my goodness! I'm pooped just reading your post! I don't post very often and really don't have any excuses. Probably because my life is so boring compared to yours!
Good luck with the nights and no doubt the patients are better off for having you there looking after them. (Aww, that's a bit too nice really. I think I'm getting soft.)
It sounds like you had a good first week. I am so glad.
Nights is tougher on you, so we won't be too disappointed if you can't get too many posts up.
Poor Hermit! I think next week will be tougher on him than he knows. But in the long run that can be a good thing. Sometimes hubbies underestimate just how much their Super Wife does.
Good luck to both you and Hermit.
I saw Hermit at football training last night. Alert the media, he was out of the house!!
