First Peds Shift

Today is the day that many of us have been waiting weeks and weeks for. As you can see my mother, who is a PNP, might be just as excited or even more so because today we had out first peds rotation.  The one difference with these next five weeks is that I do not have to wake up at the crack of dawn because our shift is 1300-2300 (a strange shift, but c'est la vie). 

Over the years I have worked with tons of kids as a swim instructor/swim team coach, after school tutor and outdoor educator.  Up until this point everyone has been HEALTHY so it will be interesting to see how the next few weeks pan out. 

The joy of being in the brand new peds wing is that there is color EVERYWHERE!!  


The first day was filled with orientation and getting to know our two clinical instructors (we will have on for Thursday and one for Friday).  At JHH a pediatric patient can range from just born to one day shy of their 22nd birthday, so quite a range.  One day down and nine to go!
