My orientation was cut a day short, thanks to this freak winter storm weather we've been having. I haven't had much trouble commuting to work, although I have to drive much more slowly thanks to the ice and snow.
Our little orientation session with the hospital's legal counsel scared the bejeebers out of me in terms of what types of documents can and can't be used in a court of law. (Diaries and, I'm assuming, personal blogs can.) I haven't shared shared any personal patient details from my clinical experiences so far, but I am going to be doubly sure to be careful now.
As for the rest of my orientation wrap-up, I have continued to enjoy being the sole RN in the group. I also got my work schedule for the next couple of weeks and had another little tour of the unit from the manager. I met my preceptor, whom my manager described as being "A tough girl. Good teacher" which kind of has me shaking my shiny new nursing boots.
It's unclear whether or not I'll be starting in labor and delivery or on the mother-baby unit. I guess I'll find that out Monday morning, weather permitting -- which I sincerely hope it does, because after only two days of this I already have cabin fever!
