Well, I got the beginning of my schedule today - Sunday is my first day on the floor working with another nurse. Holy cow - I feel like I could PUKE! Scary scary scary. I know this whole apprehension is normal and stuff, but OMG it still feels kinda surreal.
Boards are Tuesday - I'll be engrossed in last minute reviewing for those Monday. Then Tuesday at 9 am, we have the tell all test - WISH ME LUCK (and PRAY!).
It looks like I will be working days from now until the end of March - then I will be switched to nights. I will be attending a 10 day consortium of several of the Maryland hospitals, and it occurs on 10 different days over the month of March. Because that is all day time, it doesn't make much sense for me to work some nights and then have to attend that during the day - my body would be really jacked up! So needless to say I have agreed to pull day shifts just to save myself some circadian rhythm issues. Funny thing is - I have to leave the house by 615 to be at work on time, for those of u that know me - I am sure this is as amusing as anything you have heard lately!! It's gonna be a challenge but its only for about 6 weeks. Phew, then I can work nights. Traveling to the consortium is gonna be a bitch - its in Baltimore.......I believe SE side, wherever Hopkins Bayview is (not the main Hopkins campus).
Finally saw the ER today, its really nice and BIG - and a large large circle, so I am sure I will be getting lost repeatedly over the next few weeks. After that, I'll probably have it under control. Oh and all 4 of the psych rooms were full dear God what have I gotten myself into? I will admit, the waiting area was empty, so that was kind of comforting.....And I got a mailbox in the staff lounge and I got my email address (yes I have work freaking email again......So NOT happy about that).................yippeeee!!!
And I wanted to thank Kristine for that morning laugh - I swear men get dumber and dumber every day - maybe one day they won't even be able to speak! How awesome would that be??
