Been so busy!

I could probably count the amount of times I use that as a heading...I seem to use it a lot. I am not very original.

In the last 2 days, I have worked with 55 patients. And, I have kept up with the dr. :) I mean I have been doing EKG's, immunizations, referrals, procedures, you name it. He works 11 hour days, and sees many people in a day, and they are every 15 minutes or more if people call in asking to be squeezed in. He complimented me today that I shouldn't have been so scared of him, and that he hasn't even been able to keep up with me, and that I am great. :) Do you know how good of a compliment that is coming from a dr?

One of the dr's I normally work for sees at least 12-15 people a day. Or, sometimes I am paired with a nurse, and we will work for a dr that sees 20-22 people a day.

The dr I am working for this week sees 30 people a day, and only wants one nurse. OMG! So...I am his guy this week. His regular nurse (and she really is a RN, I just tend to be called a nurse by the pts, and by the dr's since patients don't understand the difference) anyways, she is on vacation so I trained with her last week in preparation for this, and here we are. I have been scared silly for about 5 weeks thinking about working this week...I have been waking in the middle of the night sweating over it, and thank goodness we are already half way through. I am so relieved that things seem to be working out there, and that the people I see really do trust me. I was thinking about things, and hows this for crazy? At the end of this month, I will be there 5 months. Time flies!
