I didn't eat lunch by myself today!!! Backing up, today was my first day of orientation and I was so SO nervous. I even brought a toothbrush and toothpaste with me this morning because I thought I might get sick. Eli gave me a little pep talk on the drive into Tacoma and dropped me off. When I walked in the building there was a group of travelers already there waiting. Believe it or not, I've never had a long conversation with a traveler. It was really fun meeting so many other traveling nurses and hear their stories. I even met a couple nurses from my company and a few that would be working in the float pool with me! I got a lot of encouragement and positive words about the hospital I'll be at too. All in all--good experience. Now I get to spend the next two days learning their charting system--every nurses favorite thing (not!).
Then I came home to a furnished apartment with internet (good job Eli!!!) We got everything minus one box unpacked today. I have to share a closet--and a dresser--it's like being back in Chi Omega! I was super impressed by the furniture and housewares. Everything is really tasteful and homey. Really nice after two weeks in an extended stay!!! (Bedroom; Living Room; Kitchen)
