First week's accomplishments

At the conclusion of this week, I'm now: trained on how to use the hospital's electronic records system, CPR/BLS certified (one of the hospital's requirements for allowing us to work there), and TB-free, among other things :) In addition, after trying out many different routes to/from the city (directions a la Chris), we've found one that I can do in under an hour and thirty. Big win for me! I even made it home in time Thursday to attend Chris's annual work picnic/award ceremony.

I will be honest, CPR has changed a lot since I last learned it (almost 10 years ago now!) but I was the first one in our basic life support class to test practically and I passed with flying colors, regardless of having a brain full of outdated and now useless information. Still, I don't want to have to use it, so I hope no one's heart ever stops around me. 

Best part of the week? My group's infant either had some weird skin condition, or was bi-racial:

One week down, many more to go!
