Clinical Orientations Begin

I just had my 2nd clinical orientation today. My first orientation was at Sharp Memorial. To get there I will have to park at Qualcomm stadium and then be shuttled to the hospital. This is very aggrivating for me since I live closer to the hospital than I do to the stadium. The second orientation is at Children's Hospital, which is physically connected to Sharp Memorial. To get there I park at the National Guard Armory off of Mesa College Dr. (Let's here it for the military offering us healthcare workers some space!) (Ok, Qualcomm is nice, too.)

I think I'm going to like both clinical sites. They both seem very professional, as hospitals usually do. But Children's seems like it might be a lot of fun! I'm excited to see how my experience there goes because I'm very hopeful that I could go into pediatric nursing. (But, just to give you background, after I had a day in the OR, I thought I'd be an OR nurse; then after my psych clinical, I was thinking of being a psych nurse; with my luck I'll just be a regular Med-Surg nurse, which is nothing to be ashamed of.)

Well, I have a seminar to attend up in RB, so I have to leave in a few minutes so I can make it through traffic in time. Then it's back home for dinner, my wife and bed: I'm working tomorrow.
