End of the week! And I think the end of orientation. It ended better than the week was going last time I blogged. The prayer and strategizing helped. I've been struggling with the ICU... tough folks to crack... but I felt like I made progress today when the charge nurse smiled and told me she was taking a couple of days off. It's the little things that really make me feel good!
The CDU is another place that was such a blessing this morning... went over on my own for the devotional - had two repeaters from Wednesday and someone new... and after reading the devotional and opening it up to what it meant to all of them, they took it and ran with it. Such a blessing to just sit and be silent as they helped and supported each other.
And two more thoughts from orientation... things I've learned...
1. Gel In and Gel Out... all about the hand sanitizer in the hospital... always gel before going into a room and gel as you are coming out... although I also learned that they don't have gel in the CDU... makes sense even if I had to think about it for a moment when I first entered the unit!
2. Meditative Bathrooms... I also learned where the best bathrooms are in the hospital... in the south building... they play meditative music in that part of the building... even in the bathrooms! It is always a stop I make before going into the ICU!
Feeling good about it all so far... have so much more to learn though!
