It's been a hectic first three days. I've left the hospital at 6:00 or 7:00 at least every day. We see our patients at 7:00am, round with the residents and staff at 8:00am and then do our work for the rest of the day, which includes scheduling tests, getting results, admitting, discharging, consulting the other services. All this normally doesn't take 12 hours, but we're still learning how to do the basic things. We don't even know how to document that we want a nurse to check a patient's vital signs 4 times a day.
I've had some interesting cases so far. I have a baby girl with Down Syndrome, an adolescent boy with septic arthritis in his knee and another baby girl with anemia so bad that she's lucky to be alive.
I'll post more when I have a story to tell
