A QUICK UPDATE!!

I have been so busy that I've not had time to stay on top of this. I finished working at the real estate office last Friday. To celebrate, my boss took his wife, Dale and I, along with our agent and his wife to a very nice dinner. We had a wonderful evening and some very fine food.  We finished up our rotation at the med-surg unit last week. We were in the brand new unit those two days. I had a patient who was suffering from multiple pulmonary embolism. My patient was very young to be experiencing this. I was able to administer IV meds via a pump.

This week we started our maternity rotation. Monday was spent working on our community collaborative project. My team will be presenting 'Safe Sleep' to expecting and new parents later this month. Safe Sleep is to enforce that parents put their babies to sleep on their backs, not their sides or tummys. Tuesday we started our day with a tour at a local birthing center and then went onto the maternity unit at the hospital.

Today I started my new job as a patient care tech (PCT). It is a casual position so I only get four shifts every two weeks (and it pays a great deal less than I was making) but hoping it gets my foot in the door. I had a great day and am looking forward to all that I can learn in this position.

I will be back at the hospital tomorrow and then it's on to the Philadelphia 3-Day for the Cure! I'm going to be running on steam but so looking forward to this weekend. I will truly listen to my body as I need my feet for clinical on Monday afternoon and evening!
