Working again

Well, I finished my 2nd day at Alvarado as an "RN" yesterday. It's not actually different from two weeks ago except that I get to pull medications out of the pyxis machines (that's our local drug dispenser on the floor, kind of a like a vending machine ;). I've had 2 interesting patients to take care of as well. I can see myself growing as a nurse in areas of compassion and assessment as well as prioritization. This is very good, because these are all critical for me to have in my repertoire if I'm ever going to be a proficient nurse. Alvarado is treating me well. God has blessed my family immensely with this job.

In other health-related news, Shannon's contractions are 7-10 minutes apart!

Actually, the drugs are free to me. Heck, the hospital pays me quite a bit of money to give the drugs away (to people who will eventually be charged exorborant amounts of money for them). If you really want to me get you the good stuff, then you have to promise to protect me from a federal investigation :D Come back to me when you figure that one out. ;)
