Preceptorship

I started working with my preceptor today. I have one word to say about that. BORING!!! Maybe it will be better on Friday. It was a slow day and all I did was follow her around, give a few meds, and help the secretary take orders off charts. But Friday I actually get a couple of patients. It will be something kind of new, because these are surgery patients. I'm used to taking care of hearts. And I get to do 10 hour shifts instead of 8. That way I can get my hours in sooner than I thought. My preceptor is an RN who works on the same floor I used to work on. I knew who she was but didn't know that much about her. She really knows her stuff. And she's actually nice! My instructor came by for a surprise visit just to make sure I was there, I guess. Anyway, it's gonna be really busy the next 7 weeks, because I can't work except when my preceptor is there, and she doesn't work all my days off and I can't work too late when I have early class the next morning. But I bet this semester is going to fly by. They made the passing score on state boards higher, so that means that my test will be harder than it's ever been. Everybody please pray for me.
OH!!! WONDERFUL NEWS!!! Remember Florence from my church that I requested prayer for? She went to the doctor and he told her that her cancer is almost gone. PRAISE GOD!!! She's still going to take a couple more months of chemo. She's on cloud nine.
AIN'T GOD GOOD?!?!?!?!

About Me

I am now an RN. I love taking pictures, especially of my grandchildren. I love taking care of people and wish there was more time to do it. Management puts so much paperwork and picky stuff on us we really don't have time to do the job we are destined to do.
