Five days a week

It's been so long since I've done anything five days a week. I guess in a way I haven't done it since high school, which is also the last time I woke up at 6:30 every morning. And I'll admit, it's a struggle to get up that early, but once I get to work, it's all good.

My first week of work was a bit of a whirlwind. There are a lot of different things going on, and I can't believe I'll possibly remember it all. But I've already conquered a few things: administering ECGs, answering NotifyMD messages, calling in refills. There are kinks to work out sometimes, but I think I've basically got the hang of those things. But there's much more, and I still have to master taking a blood pressure. I think I'm 3 for 5 with that. Then there are all the stress tests and their respective machines to become familiar with, QARG, various forms, monitor reports, what to fax, what to copy, when to email or call a Dr, which Doctors don't want to be bothered at what times.......

They tell me I'll have it down in another week or so. I sure hope so.

Also hoping my ECG book arrives soon.

Also a patient praised me to another member of the staff, which was very reassuring.
