3rd day of orientation

Sigh. I did so much talking today guys. I'm so uncomfortable.

I had to call help desk TWICE today. They were wonderfully wonderful people that totally deserve the 70,000+ salaries. They're so patient and wonderful, and I'm just ever so sorry they have to deal with incompetent people like me. Just thank you to all the IT people in the world. You are wonderful. And are probably underappreciated, but you're wonderful.

Okay. Lol.

It was...hmmm, I think I got there too early. There was only one person there, but me remembering my 20 seconds of courage, instead of sitting behind her or in front of her, I sat RIGHT NEXT TO HER.

AND STARTED A CONVERSATION.

THANK THE LORD THAT SHE WAS A TALKATIVE PERSON!! lol.

So she was nice and I didn't have to sit by myself!

But turns out she already had friends there before, so I was kind of all third-wheeling it and ended up sitting alone at lunch. Until someone else came to sit with me. She tends to be ostracized by the people in my class, but honestly, I think she's nice, she just sometimes lets her mouth run when it probably shouldn't.

But we all got our problems don't we?

It was actually kind of rude. They saw her, gave the girl who was going to sit down a look and went to a different table. It made me kind of sad really. I was also disappointed in myself for wanting to sit with them. But really, I know they're nice people, but it's not right to...be nice to her face and then talk behind her back.

Anyways. Today was another orientation in a classroom. lol, pretty sure most hospitals don't have this many in class orientation days, but I'm grateful, I learned a lot.

We learned about different parts of the hospital. Like the ethicist, the chaplains, the bariatric surgery, risk managment, pt, occupational health, and got fitted for n-95 respirators. lol, it was kind of funny when we had to bow like a million times. Then we watched a movie and that was the end of the day.

well for most people. I had to go register for my benefits. Being an adult is hard guys. Got to pay for health and dental and eye insurance. This really makes me wonder if I need to get my eyes and teeth checked so much. And I mean, I'm sort of young so I shouldn't really need health insurance right???? lol, I wish. It's gonna take a huge chunk out of my paycheck.

I'm tired, but I don't have to get up until 9:30 tomorrow.

Man, I just want to say that my outfit was freaking pretty today. I haven't felt pretty in such a long time. But it was wonderful.

Best part of today: get paid for learning.

1st day on the floor (still on orientation)

OH. MY. GOSH. July. 7. 2017. lol, now that I've slept I'm not sure what I was going to write after that oh my gosh. But the first day was okay. I kind of ended it badly, but the people were nice. I wasn't sure what time I was suppose to clock out but it was like 7:20 and I didn't want to stay later so I kind of left without saying bye to my preceptor. I was so tired. I almost fell asleep at the wheel. And I didn't even do anything! lol, the first night was only supposed to be shadowing. I had a nice nurse to follow. Bc I'm pretty shy I'm glad she was older bc older people tend to talk a lot. It was very awkward first getting there. Bc it was during shift change and people were trying to get in and out. I had also had a lot of communication problems with my manager. I was trying to get my ID to log on but it wouldn't work. And for some reason whenever she texted or emailed me, I wasn't getting any of it! So uck, bad start. It's rea...

2nd day on the floor (still on orientation)

Today I got my first patient. Lol, having all kinds of anxious feelings about this. Having someone watch me is scary, so I'm not sure how I feel about that. Also, I'm not too sure about the charting. And I feel bad about waking them up. I want the patients to sleep bc it's better for their health, but I also want them to be awake so that I can do my assessment, lol. Idk. --okay UPDATE. OH MY GOSH. I said thank you, but why did I have to get a nonverbal patient on my first day? lol, I already stink at communication, but now I got somebody who can't even meet me halfway??? lol, the Lord was definitely testing me today. And then the stupid air bubbles. Oh my gosh, I HATE BUBBLES. I'm so sick of 'em. All they do is eat up my time and they're just SUCH JERKS. Oh my gosh. There's got to be a better way. I'm just so sick of it. Sick of IT! Ugh. Bubbles kill me. Idk man. There's so much information and there's so much public relations in it i...

5th and last day or orientation (in classroom)

lol, so today was my last day of classroom orientation. Kind of sad, and completely exhausted. I'm so tired of lectures and today I didn't have my seat buddy with me. Tbh, having to socialize 3 days in a row, today I was at my limit. Usually I would try to fake enthusiam, but today I was all pooped out. I just stared at my phone during breaks. Unfortunately, my boss came and visited on this day. It was such a shock. I have such bad luck. lol. And at lunch I actually sat alone. I was prepared for it. I didn't really want to talk to anybody. Bc then I would have to fake being interested and fake laugh and smile while they talked about things that I really didn't care about. So even though I looked like a loner, I maybe cared a little, but not enough to look around and sit with my classmates. But then surprise, surprise. A friend actually showed up! lol, she could have sat with our classmates since she knows them, but she sat with me and that was really nice. S...
