Wait a second? I'm still on orientation? Yes, in some ways...but my patients are no longer assigned to Sylva/2ndNurse...it's just SYLVA. My main preceptor's still on vacation (till Monday) and so my second resource nurse (Peter, also a fantastic nurse) is around and available for questions. There are other nurses always available when I'm swamped or stumped, or I'm unable to get a reponse from the Docs. I have been able to offer assistance to other nurses too.
Guess what? I still like my job. I'm still learning lots every day, and ... oh boy, the patients I see are definately interesting Hah.
I also still like 12-hour shifts. It's a much more relaxed day (usually).
I'm off to get ready for bed. It's pouring outside and our windows are open to the cool air. Every day there is 3 fewer minutes of daylight. I noticed it today when it was so much darker at 7:30 than it was last week!! Fall is coming quickly I suppose, and the weather has been so lovely lately.
