Boy Oh Boy

These past few weeks have been very busy for me. I have been seeing everything and anything that i could possibly see. I have been in peds cases, adult, TEE, ER, Bubble, Definity, and everything else. I am just starting my job as an PRN EKG Tech here in the hospital in addition to the Externship. I am scanning like crazy but i think that i am being quizzed more than i am scanning. I have started running my own TEE's, with supervision of course (cardiologist) :) The techs down here are happy that i have been able to catch on so fast, cause we have been really short these past couple weeks and they really appreciate it when i can take the paperwork and put it in the computer for them, or take a patient back to the room and get them ready for the echo. I have been putting in 11 hour days the past week but this week i have had the pleasure of working 12 hours a day. Gotta Love it :)

Salt Lake has been really hot these past weeks, in the 100's. I am so happy to have an apartment with air conditioning. I was so happy to see the rain today because it cooled off our 105 degree weather today.

Oh another thing that i have found out about dear ol' Utah is that July 24th is a Holiday :) Pioneer Day's celebration is bigger and more extravagant than the 4th of July. Im so happy that i get to see fireworks twice in one month. Plus, down here you can light your fireworks a week before and a week after the holidays, so really i get fireworks all month long:)

Hope everyone is having a fun time on Extern:)
