Two weeks in with the new job and things are going really well. My reservations for going in to mursing school are the following in no particular order:
- Going back to school and working full time is going to be hard going, and I'm not a super young dude anymore.
- Sciences were never my strongest classes. I'm more of an English and Lit. guy.
- I've never been in a job that required patient care before. What if I hate dealing with people in such close proximity?
One of those reservations has been put firmly to rest. I really enjoyed my first two weeks of work. Working with the patients was great and any nerves that I was experiencing during the first day quickly disappeared. Most of the patients are happy to see the PCA's. It makes a big difference to them to stop for a minute and chat. It is something that I will always try to remember. No matter how busy my day is or how tough things are going I am primarily there to help them during their stay.
So, tomorrow begins a new week with a new set of challenges that I'm looking forward to taking on. It's going to be a tough one since I'm facing 3 twelve hour days in a row. It will be so worth it, since on Friday Gina and I will be on the road to Dayton to see our friends
John, Willie and Bob.
