So I've been meaning to do a post about my winter break in MN, but I just haven't had the time/energy to sit down and write it all. Instead, I am going to update with a bit of what I've been doing lately. Hopefully I will come back and finish a post on MN and continue to write some longer, insightful posts while having small updates.
Last week everybody in the house got back into their routines. We returned to work, caught up with one another and re-established our food supply. We also learned that VSC west was interviewing someone for a half-year.
Fast-forward a few days to pretty low-key weekend, to hearing about the new VSC, Jon. He was accepted and placed in MM. We met him tonight and dinner and he will move in Thursday. He seems like a cool guy and should mesh well with our community. We're excited.
Backtrack to yesterday. I covered a float LVN's assignment, which shouldn't be any different, but this guy is...not the greatest nurse in the world. Pair that with a patient who was under a lot of stress and it just isn't a good thing. I want to come back to this patient in greater detail, but basically I did a lot of customer service/saving face/education while I was there. We had some pretty great discussions too. I needed that because I've felt like I'm lacking in true interaction with patients since I float around the floor a lot.
I'm meeting with my site supervisor, Gilda, on Thursday. We're going to talk about a number of things, one of which is perhaps added another dimension to my service here. I'm not sure what implications that will have regarding my service on the 8th floor. I have not intent to leave there, but I wouldn't mind doing one less day a week there or something to that effect. We'll see what my options are based upon who pays for my stipend and the like.
This was meant to be a short post....it's a bit verbose, but it didn't take long to write. I'm working tomorrow and Thursday so it is time to get to bed!
