Bits and pieces

Well, I suck.

I should never say, "I'm going to start posting daily," because that'll mean I don't post for a week!

It's been an interesting week. I got to ride an ambulance for the first time in my professional career. You'd think as an RN I'd have been in plenty by now, but in fact this one was a first for me. Not a terribly exciting transport, escorting a patient back to another hospital. Still, fun for a change. No lights and sirens though!

The rest of the week has been spent trialling a new monitor, keeping up with supplies on the unit and doing all the troubleshooting and education that this job entails. Today I'm writing a spreadsheet to handle the data from the monitor trial, and working on some written material for a ventilator training session I'm giving later in the week.

Doesn't sound terribly exciting, does it? Just goes to show, you never really know what you'll be asked to do after you graduate as a nurse.
