New Grad Residency Week 12

So clearly I have been busy. I haven't posted in weeks! I honestly have been working my butt off and have been absolutely exhausted. I am just about 12 weeks into my new graduate residency program and am at the point where I am working on my own but still have a preceptor when I need her.

Something disappointing happened this week in relation to the residency program. The other new grad who started on my floor with me has quit. She had a very long commute and has a small daughter who she was having a hard time being away from. However, I was really upset that she just up and left with no notice. It sucks that they won't fill her position and that all those new grads who are still looking for a job are screwed.

I have been loving working on the floor. I have finished my Mother-Baby weeks and my nursery week. Next week I will be moving into antepartum patients for a few weeks. They can be more complicated but also less because they kind of just hang out all day.

I worked 8 out of the last 9 days. It was so draining! So, I am currently still sitting in bed relaxing and enjoying my two days off :)
