Well, I feel sheepish!
Hi. My name is Jana. Remember me??! Ummm, ok, so I haven't posted a blog in, like what, a month? Oh brother! There's really not a whole lot to write about, but here goes...
My job is going really well! I'm excited about it because I was soooooo nervous about starting. It's been hard in the sense of not knowing people and not having the relationships I had at Beulah, but the workload hasn't been too much to adjust to. They went easy on me for the first couple of weeks and didn't pile too many details on me so I could get used to the general job, but they've been training me for more projects lately. It definitely keeps me busy and has been crazy trying to remember all the staff, but there are some lulls here-and-there to catch my breath :) They have a staff social committee that plans lunch bbq's sometimes, so that's kept things interesting, and people are really nice, but it's going to be awhile until I really feel that I fit. This is my fourth week there, so I'll give it time.
School has been a HUGE adjustment! There really are no words to describe how exciting it is, but it's been a lot of work. It's about what I expected, but there's one lady in my class who is married with at least one young-ish child at home, and I don't know quite how she manages the studying on top of being a mom! There's one girl who has a couple young kids and one of them has had a number of health troubles since he was born. She has been taking care of him at home since he was a baby, so she kind of thinks that she's has already done everything that we'll be doing in clinicals. It makes me roll my eyes because clinicals will involve a lot more than what her one-case experience has. Anyways, I am LOVING it, and although it is a lot of information, my instructor has been really great and I can't wait to get more involved!!
Incidentally, my midterm is 2 weeks from tonight, so yeah, I feel no stress right now... AS IF!! I am starting to feel the pressure, but I've been spending a lot of time with my textbook, basically every moment between work and sleep, so that's why I haven't been posting anything. I am around, and have been reading your comments, so maybe now I'll be able to find more time to update you.
Until next time...
