248 Days Since Graduation

Today I signed out at the Hospital where I volunteer and I noticed that I had completed over 50 hours of the Ambassador stage. The Medical Career Exploration program begins with 24 hours working in Central Transport (running labs, blood units, discharging patients and transporting non icu patients to internal appointments) and 24 hours in Patient Liaison (escorting patients to Pre-op or Day Surgery). I have completed over 30 hours in CT and 22.5 hours in PL. I made my appointment with the coordinator and when I get back from North Carolina in a couple of weeks, I will get placed in a department. So far the only placements I have heard of are in Lab Control, the ER and the NICU. I hope to get placed in Ortho because I am interested in Ortho or Sports Medicine. I have a hunch that this position doesn't exist. We will see.

So far it seems that I have my time planned out through the end of the summer. 24 hours at the Brookline Practice, 6 hours volunteering at the big hospital, blood drives and other miscellaneous volunteering as available, 8 hours a week with Elly til july, 8 hours a week with Jemma, 3 hours a week with Auden, 3 hours every other week with Grady. Class Mondays and Saturdays til July, and Mondays Tuesdays and Thursdays this summer. Somewhere in there I will spend time with my man and my friends. Sleep? I've slept enough in the last five years.
