Clinicals. Yeah, that’s right. I’ll officially be running around a hospital in a uniform dealing with sick people.
God help us all. Well, that is if I don’t get completely lost in TGH’s sea of one million (yes, million) square feet. I’m going to need my preceptor to hold my hand or something.
David just ran out to Target to pick me up some socks. All that’s left now is to iron my uniforms, print 100 sheets of stuff that needs to be filled out and…cut my nails.
How am I going to open anything? I’ll have a pair of handy-dandy bandage scissors on me (oh, so THAT’S why I had to buy those!), but still. The lady I sit with in class has had her artificial nails on for 18 years. She’s probably freaking out right now.
I’m thinking David needs to take some photos of me tomorrow “First Day of School” style. Of course these will be at five in the morning and that is NOT going to me a smile on my face >_<
I can’t believe I’ve had my stethoscope for over a week now and haven’t taken photos of it. I must be ill.
Speaking of photos, I’ve moved my photoblog to calcifying @ wordpress (link is in the blogroll). We’ll see how it works here – most of the default themes don’t accommodate large photo sizes unfortunately.

Who’s idea was it to build TGH on an island? Really? Our main disasters come from hurricanes and they built the hospital on an island? At least some patients get a beautiful view of sunset from their rooms? You know, after getting moved up to a higher floor because of flooding >_<
We had our orientation there. It’s a lovely hospital. One MILLION square feet after all the floors are open in the new wing (which will include A SPA FYI) though. I’m going to be so lost, ha. It’s a really good hospital – there’s pretty much nothing they DON’T do there, they have a great reputation, they’re the sole disaster relief hospital (think more chemical warfare than hurricanes) for the entire west coast of Florida. And the respiratory crew so far seem to be pretty OK people so far.
I’m there for six rotations before I move on to UCH and then Brooksville.
I still don’t feel ready for ANY of it. I have a lab Tuesday which will help refresh my memory somewhat (oh hey use a humidifier when the flow is 3LPM or higher on WHAT device again?) but I still feel quite intimidated. I suppose that won’t go away until I’m actually out there and get to see everything in action.
On a different note, today’s our third year wedding anniversary. The boy got up this morning and took off. Fantastic. Probably went to get the oil changed in the car, but Christ…
And Piggy is doing great now. He’s having a slight issue jumping, but he’s eating and I’ let him out (supervised) for awhile yesterday.
Also David and I did a test run to Davis Island so I would know how to actually get to the hospital and stayed out there for awhile and then went to bayshore for sunset. Here are the photos:

CompUSA is going out of business and their cameras are 15% off.
So, even though David really wants the 4OD, he is quite content with our latest purchase: the Canon Rebel . It’s lovely to have an SLR camera again!
Photos. Not with the new camera because David doesn’t know how to share, but with the S2 IS.
