Armed with an RN
Funny the things you can do once your student days are over,
and funner the things you can do with your RN other than bedside care.
Just got offered a part time position as an RN Clinical Liaison for a IV infusion company!
Although my ultimate goal is to be at the bedside in the PICU, I’ll take this job as a opportunity to see another side of nursing :)
I never use this thing
So I figure I start today as I sip on this glass of wine.
PICU Lesson #1: Do something good for yourself everyday.
Of all the things that I have experienced in the PICU so far, one of the hardest things I have dealt with is families. I love talking to them and comforting them, but its been especially draining on me this particular week with a family that I’ve been working with for the past week. So I got some very good basic advice: do something good for myself everyday.
Its so simple, and yet I’ve been neglecting to do so. I haven’t been to the gym in weeks and a good portion of my time has been working.
So I’ve decided that I need to start making an effort to go to the gym. Or at least do something that takes the load off of my shoulders I take on when I go to care for my patients and their families.
