Woo! Orientation for my job was on monday. A very long introduction to the hospital's ideas, policies, procedures, achievements, and of course the best cookies ever...mmm. Ha, you know my priorities in life. Yes, it was a long 8 hours of learning what Sharp is all about, but I was getting paid to listen and learn and finally meet other new grads scared and as nervous as me. I think I read business casual a little more formally then others at orientation (see pic and no, Mom I didn't wear the flip flops during the day... heels kill the feet, hello!)So, the following day, I actually had my first working day on the unit. Getting the lay of the land and getting my skills back was at first frustrating, but now I can say that I can not feel like a bumbling idiot when I work again on Friday. On a side note, I'm not working as an RN yet, my boards are next tuesday (eek!), so I am shadowing staff on my unit, then starting new grad classes next week.
Here's me on my first day: clearly have not had coffee yet and wearing my glasses so I can actually see to drive. Oh, life. But on an optimistic note, at the end of my 25 minute commute, I had finished my large coffee, rocked out to some mashups, and was sufficiently ready to start the day.
So, because boards are next tuesday....6 days away; I am a study machine. The only perk? Studying here:
Yup, La Jolla Cove. I'll part with some artsy shots from my lovely haven of knowledge today. This week is super boring, so when I have some cool pics, I will post them. Adios.
