Let's all get crazy with the cheeze wiz

Well, I finished techschool, and now it's time for on the job training.  We all go around 8pm to a room where our training instructors are.  The first day, we are given a book with a list of tasks we must accomplish by the end of the training.  Some are simple like taking someone's blood presure.  Some are gross, like putting someone in a bed pan, and taking them off.  Then there are some a bit more invasive, like inserting an IV. We are then given our assingments for the day.  Assignments can include a ward that holds anywhere form 20 to 50 beds of patients.  The wards are a bit different, for example there is 9D, which is the ward that takes care of all the patients that are there for a Medical dicease.  There is 7A which was the one I unfortunately ended up in, but I'll talk about that later.  This ward holds patients that have gone through sometime of trauma, like a motorcycle accident, or a big fall.  This ward, also holds patiente that have gone through complex surgery, like gastric bypases, and othere surgeries.  Also we get patients that go through radiation surgery.

Then there is the cancer ward, 6C, and the heart ward, 3A.  There is the obserbation ward 3C, the children's ward 4A, and the Materninty ward, 2A.  We also have OB, where the births occure.  Also ICU Intensive Care Unit, ER Emergency Room, OR Operating room, and the PACU Post Anesthetic Care Unit.  Then there are Family and Medicine clinics, and the OB clinic.  So we go through each one off these places to get our on the job training.  The rule of thumb is see one, do one, and teach one.  Which means watch someone do something, like insert an IV, then you do it, and when your good at it, teach the next person how to do it.  So my first stop was 3A a pretty easy ward, you just go around helping the patients with what ever they need.  You get the occasional bed wetter, or patient that you have to feed, but thats about it.
