It's a beautiful day today! It's sunny and smells like spring outside. I just love today! It's 0520pm. I almost finished cooking something I made up as usual :) and I want to catch up from last posting.
My pregnancy: We are 12 weeks!!! He he...my belly bump just starting to show...but I love this baby so much already. We talk to our baby and can't wait to see her or him!
My work: I've been working independently now for several weeks and I'm LOVING IT! I was worried at first, but I knew that I was more than ready after being with preceptor for 6 months. I was fine on my 1st day, even though it was a crazy day with patient discharge and then admission of day 2 post valve surgery...pretty busy patient. Plus my other patients. So I was running around, but I was not afraid to ask for help and of course I received it and from that day on, I have been absolutely fine, great actually! Now, I am the professional, independent, make my own decisions, and accountable to myself for my actions. I don't have to spend time running around and making sure my preceptor knows everything that is going on with patients. It actually saves a lot of time. I had a couple of rough days, but overall it's been great! Now I feel that I'm a true health care professional. There is always something I'm not sure of, but I'm not in the forest, there are always people around me and they are great. I started to use various resources and of course internet is a big help, especially for a question you feel embarrassed to ask..he he.
My research work with Dr. F: I talked to them about my pregnancy and that I probably would not be able to work since I'm due in Nov. We decided that I will not particularly do the project, but I will help with whatever they need. So I needed to start researching the articles about CVD in Chinese Canadians and Chinese in China. It's hard to work at home, so I went to HI library for a couple of hours. We went for a coffee with E, assistant of Dr.F, such a nice girl! It was a good and productive day. So I just keep researching for now.
Insurance assessments: No more clients yet for now :(, but it's ok with me.
New ideas: We have a very good smoking cessation program at HI where a lot of nurses are working and helping people with education and medication. I found out who is the Dr. So on my way home, I went to find out about him and I talked to a lady from the secretary office and she gave a couple of contacts who would know if they have any employment opportunities. It'd be a great job during pregnancy, 8 hour shifts, and only days. It'd be super to get that job!
