*loved*

You know you have really really good friends when they call you up to say that they want to see you on your day off…and they are coming over with cleaning supplies and expect to be put to work.

My kitchen, bathroom and living room looks fabulous. Still have laundry to do, but will have fresh scrubs to wear tomorrow.

So glad that this month is over. It has been difficult and frustrating in many ways that I could have never predicted. I liked my interns individually but we never became a team, and I really struggled with how to improve things. I was in change of 15-20 patients every day, we rarely seemed to make any progress in discharges, and I think I set the record for the number of patients transferred to the unit (12). I was rarely done and home before 7 pm…when my interns usually left by 5, I was still there making sure everything had gotten done.

Tomorrow will be met with a new set of challenges: new interns and students, new hopsital, new system, new rules, (and I get to start by being on call! Yay!) but I’m glad to get a fresh start on things. Plus, all of the other residents keep teasing me with promises of work days ending by 3 pm, and that sounds unbelievably alluring.

Night all.

    You have wonderful friends! Can I borrow them?

    You do such a difficult job. No one who hasn’t walked your shoes, including me, and I work in a teaching hospital, knows what the life of a resident is like. I hope your new hospital setting provides a good experience for you, because goodness know you deserve a break. I hope your day and night are uneventful.

    Aren’t good friends lovely? 🙂

    I can’t wait until this headache of a month is over as well. February is always no good.

    I didn’t know you were moving on to a new hospital. Is it still on the campus or are you going to one of the others just outside of town? Wherever it is, good luck :)! I’m sure you’ll be relieved to have a more steady schedule than you had before.

      I’m at one of the private hospitals in the city for a month. Very, very different. And yes, the less responsibility is nice, but when you’ve been brainwashed to think that if you’re not working, you’re missing something, it’s a hard transition.

    • 2025 – Quilts! 01/07/2026
      For Christmas, my sister and I made National Park quilts for my parents, sister and brother-in-law, and niblings. 6 of them were small lap quilts, with a simple print, batting, and a backing that we sewed. The last was a queen size quilt for my sister’s camping trailer – it was a challenge putting it […]
