Having finished the Rotation K, somewhat successfully, not declining one or two or three late night outings to get some drinks after particularly intense days, I am finally done!!
But now I'm on to rotation V. Actually, I'm already a week into it. This one is in the intensive care unit. I will write in more details afterwards, but just to give a countdown, I have 22 days remaining in this rotation.
Of those, 3 are off and some odd number are post-call since I am doing 24 hr calls. But now this becomes too confusing, so I'll just be using days remaining and calls remaining.
Anyways, the goals for this rotation are similar to the one prior, with some minor changes. I will be checking progress with each of the following categories.
1) Hopkins modules. ONE DAILY. No excuses.
2) Daily learning experience: attending teaching rounds/learning new things every day, ICU stuff. Write it in my notebook. Daily.
3) Over this rotation, get certified in procedures - central lines placement. Possibly arterial lines placement.
4) Keep organized: orders, sheets, notebook, paperboard on rounds.
5) Accept that there will be unfairness daily/hourly (including unfair load, screaming, ancillary issues, long work hours, instant changes) but just accept it and say nothing. Do not get into arguments with people.
6) Daily exercises - to get the bad energy out! :) And also, spring/summer is coming!!
Oh, and speaking of which, I was already assigned to research and to present a topic - so I guess here I start!!
****
Other goals, during this rotation:
-Get vision rechecked and get new eyeglasses!
-мамография
-Organize my baby's photos to create photo-book
And so, the countdown:
Days remaining: 22
Calls remaining: 6
