So I finally got an assignment through my new agency. Starting next week, I will train to be part of an Emergency Response Team in an outpatient PACU. I will admit I’m a tad nervous. We had plenty of codes in the MICU but 99% are patients who have been spiraling downward for days and so you automatically prepare for the worst. PLUS, I was always surrounded by people who knew what they were doing and now I will be the one who is expected to know what I am doing. Yikes.

Okay, so maybe I’m a little more than a “tad” nervous. I have my ACLS certification so I guess it’s just a matter of using the knowledge that I (hopefully) have. We shall see. At any rate I do miss nursing, if you can believe that. I’ve only worked about 5 shifts since Ben was born and I’m ready to get into something new and exciting (but not too exciting if you know what I mean.)

And on that note it sure would help if I had an iPhone…
