this is going to be quick because my eyes are burning and i'm exhausted. this monday to friday eight to four shit is killing me. honestly i don't think i'm the type. i love my 12 hour shifts and weekdays off. i don't mind being in a classroom and learning about shit i want to learn about but this overstimulus/understimulus stuff has got to go. i'm overwhelmed by the amount of paper that this hospital wastes. for a city that seems to be a little more environmentally concerned... this is ridiculous... 6 pages of admission orders??? 6 pages of nursing flowsheets/documentation???? 6 page MARS???? is this for real?? apparently it is. but i guess that's part of the adventure right? i'm a little hesistant to completely change the way i think and do my job but i'm going to have to. also the group i'm orienting with is pretty good. a couple brits and aussies and a newish grad from niagara falls. after our shitty computer class tomorrow we're all going to a pub to get licked. we feel that we deserve it. a whole week of tearing down a lot of ingrained practices and procedures. its a real kick in the face... confidence wise.
anyway.. enough bitching for now... i am enjoying the anatomy and pathology and pathophysiology review. gonna curl up in a few minutes to finish my chapter on the electrophysiology of the heart and all the arrhythmias that go along with it. shit like this always reminds me of how amazing the human body is and how much in awe of it i am. how its evolved into this incredible machine that regulates and repairs itself... has protective mechanisms in place.... compensations for failure or invasion... and how fragile yet resiliant we are. seriously... it blows me away.
i really need to close my eyes. for real.
(i think these are two of the most beautiful parts of the cardiovascular system... yes. i am a dork.)
(but it's those little things that count the most)
