Wally World and Fresh Free Coffee, oh yeah and some AI too, who could ask for more?
After hitting the snooze a couple times and getting up early I thought about getting me some Dutch Brothers, but figured.. NAW, I'll just drink the day old coffee and head to Wally World to pick up a notebook. I figured if I am going to make it today, I might as well see if I can make it like I would any other day. I have been so nervous for this day. I mean today is the beginning of me being what I want to be when I grow up. No turning back and no whimping out, but man this place is humid and every building is hot inside, and I sweat like a pig already... while walking around Wallys trying to find that dang school section, I almost stopped and started looking at stuff until I realized how much I really did hate it there and just needed a notebook, because go figure I forgot.... at that moment I would do anything to avoid going to the hospital. Its like getting ready for Tanyas tests, you know you need to study, but you start chores, craft projects, dying your hair, etc etc anything but studying... but what is a girl to do... so I parked the jeep and started the walk to the hospital during the best day of the Summer here so far, and I realized something... if I can make it through Wally world on day old coffee at 7:30 in the morning, then anything is possible :) So I went to work a little nervous had the tour and got to observe 3 echos today. They have Echos all day, which makes me happy, don't do TEEs too much, but have several a month and several pacemaker placements that I'll be going to. I'll also be observing some nuc med studies and nuc med stress tests, I can't wait to see how their myocardial perfusion studies are done... my CI just got back from back surgery, but the girl (all girls in my dept) that will be helping me is REALLY good, so that excites me. I am a little nervous to deal with the patients, they REALLY want to know what is wrong with them.... but I made it, and what was even better about the whole day, I can use my meal card at the coffee shop so looks like I moved up in the world today in more ways than one :) I hope you all are enjoying your experiences, I literally thought of you all today at some point :)

I miss you! August can't come fast enough! You are so lucky that they are giving you free drinks too! Don't worry about the patients too much. Everyone that I've had is more than happy to let a student scan them. And most understand that you can't tell them anything. Most of the techs will say when nothing is wrong but I've always let them field those questions :)
ReplyDeleteI'm not worried about Patients too much anymore, I think it was just first day jitters... I set up the patients, get them hooked up and the ekgs and machine ready, prep the room etc etc.... figure out how ot do all the paper work etc etc.. but scanning BLAH BLAH BLAH ... I really don't get to scan that much at all, today I scanned 2 people and its only for a little bit at a time ! BOO
