Okay, after a week working in the hospital I have begun to wonder why people get in such a hurry to grow up? Once you get there you just keep going....growing.
As you can see this blog is named My Life as a Big Girl. This is not entirely true yet. Technically I am still on the payroll of the parentals. I am sure they can't wait for the day when I can stand on my two feet. Although I am looking forward to standing on my own two feet I am a little worried about being off the payroll (I'm kinda high maintanence).
Today started my first actual week of working in the ER. Last week I just had general hospital orientation. I was a little unsure of what time to be there so I decided being an hour early would be better than being an hour late. Typically I just zone out on the way to Clarksdale, its flat, its mostly straight....doesn't really take much concentration to get there. Anyway..as I got close to Clarksdale I came across a one car accident in the highway. It had apparently just happened. At first I didn't see anyone in the vehicle. As I started to go around I saw the man in the front seat who seemed to have some lacerations to the head. I must say that it felt really good to be able to stop and actually help until the paramedics got there. Luckily an EMT was also on his way to work and stopped to help as well. Thank goodness I didn't have to do much. I have not even had my license a month. The man was fine and I had a little adrenaline rush before work.
