Orientation so far

well, today was my 2nd day of orientation! today was a lot more interesting than yesterday as it was more nursing related and specific to the staff working only at the Children's and Women's hospital. yesterday was literally an orientation to PHSA (the motherboard agency) and it was pretty boring... nothing interactive at all haha. but today i met a lot more people and generally everyone is super nice. only a few are from Vancouver and the rest of us are all from different places! lots from Ontario, one from Australia, New Zealand, London (UK) and other places but generally it's pretty diverse. age and experience range as well... i would say that 35% are new grads like me! i met this girl who was a competitive swimmer and we were talking about the possibility of doing masters swimming? hahaha ugh i'm so completely out of shape that my body probably doesn't even remember what muscle is. but it's nice to know i have someone to go swimming with. anyways it's been pretty cool meeting everyone and it's amazing to see how people from all across the world with different backgrounds and experience all come together for one thing: to be a specialized pediatric nurse at BC Children's. 

the nursing resource team (NRT) that i'm working on, consists of 17 of us. hopefully we get to work with each other often and become good friends... i'm getting trained on three units including: renal/metabolic and endocrine, cardiac and neuro surg. i'm excited to get a variety of experience and then hopefully pick a specialized path and work regularly on a unit.... but yeah we'll see how this goes. everything's new so ahhhhhhhh! i think i'm more freaking out about my first shift which is this FRIDAY. i forget what 12 hour shifts are like........ >.<

it rained like all day today. i really need those rainboots and a cute rain jacket. i don't have anything waterproof in my wardrobe... other than this one tna vest. how is that even possible? i think it's time to hit the lululemon OUTLET (thats right beeeeeeeezies, OUTLET!!!). ok not until i make some monies. haha. dude i was walking home and i watched these two guys get SOAKED by this huge SUV that drove by SUPER fast SUPER close to the curb.....omg they were soaked from head to toe. i kind of laughed inside but felt so bad for them. but i know for sure one day that's definitely going to happen to me........-___-

well, what can i say... there is the good and the bad. hopefully i can focus on all the positive things and forget about the things that hurt me and make me sad. thank you to my friends who read my blog and comment/ email me... i love you and miss you guys sooo much.
