I just finished my last shift in the ER. I have to admit that I had an awesome time... despite the fact that it was an overnight shift. I had a most groovy attending (who diagnosed patients with "abominable" pain), finally figured out how to keep myself awake (afternoon nap, food bolus at 9 PM, steady stream of sugar throughout, and Coca Cola-- in fact, I'd infuse that IV if I could), and celebrated the turn of 6:30 AM with a yummy glazed donut.
Next week I'll be putting the jelly on da belly as an ultrasound tech in the ER. For now, I'm going to hydrate like a crazy mofo (my pee is officially orange) and sleep like there's no tomorrow (I know, I know, there is), and maybe when I wake up this evening I'll get to do normal people things, like eat dinner and hang out with friends.
Yay!
