Right now, I am...

in a hurry

It's 8:50 on Sunday night, I work tomorrow, I should be in bed in ten minutes, and I do not have a blog post written.

(which is why you're getting a "Right now" post. Ha.)

amazed it's been almost a year since I graduated

Last year on Mother's Day, my study buddies and I had our last pre-exam study session, and we took our very final exam the next day. It's wild it's been a whole year since then!

looking forward to some days off

By the time Tuesday ends, I will have been at the hospital six out of the last eight days (and on one of the days off, I went there for Nurses Night out!)

The tradeoff is that in the next eight days, I will only be there twice. Sweet. I love my hospital life, but this stretch of days was a little imbalanced.

happy that I probably won't be the circulator

I got assigned as the circulator nurse on Saturday, and I walked 19,000 steps that shift.

I like circulating, and I feel honored that they trust me with this role, but that many steps is a lot for this body. They rotate circulators, so I will most likely just have a group of patients for these next two shifts.

My feet will appreciate that. 😉

(On a normal shift, I walk more like 12,000-14,000 steps.)

glad I just remembered to submit an assignment

I wrote a little required journal entry ahead of time, and as I was writing this post, I remembered I hadn't submitted it!

So, I took a second to go find it and submit it. Whew. I would be so annoyed if I ended up submitting it late, especially since I'd already written it!
