I've spent the last two weeks observing the drug and alcohol unit, adult and geriatric psyche, and the emergency department. The emergency department has been by favorite by a very wide margin. I've found the psyche department interesting but I don't think it's a place I'd want to work. It takes a very special kind of nurse to work in those units. The ER wasn't as dramatic as I imagined it to be but it was extremely fast paced. Within a few hours I got to start IV's, draw blood for blood work, and do a couple of EKG's. The nurse I was working with was amazing! She was more than willing to teach me anything I wanted to know. Despite what you may think, in the nursing world that is a rarity!
Wednesday marks the beginning of our summer vacation. It's a much needs break from the extreme pressure I put on myself. I'm looking forward to sleeping in, spending time with family, and catching up with all of you. I feel so distant from all of you since school began! I'd love to know how you all are doing!
