Week One

What a first week it's been! Orientation was pretty standard--learn the policies/procedures and then go through the computer charting. Kind of a long few days. I had my first day of orientation on the floor and right off the bat I noticed how nice everyone was. The first day I kind of shadowed and watched where different things were charted etc. Then my SECOND day of orientation I get to work and they had an ill call so I ended up taking a full patient load (6 patients) and I only got out of there an hour late.  Hey, for it only being my second day, and for having 6 patients I was pretty darn proud of myself. Then I did get one more day with a preceptor and yesterday was my official day on my own. I think it went really well and from the feed back I got my surprise day alone on the floor went well too. Overall, a great first week!
