Hello to all! I wanted to get to the end of my first week before I updated. I decided to take a position in a rural health clinic about 25 minutes from my home. It is an internal medicine practice that sees patients from 12 years old and up. The majority of patients are 45-90's. It's a small clinic with three exam rooms. It will be interesting to see how it will work when the doctor and I are both seeing patients at the same time. I hope that it gets busy enough to move to a bigger office someday.
This week has been a little quiet because the clinic was closed for a few weeks and it gave me a chance to see how things are done in this practice. I really like the people that I work with! The doctor is good about answering questions and has made me feel very comfortable. He will be working in a VA hospital for a week at a time, so he won't be in the clinic much during that week at all. He has reiterated to me that I am the provider and that I need to make sure that the office runs smoothly when he's not there. This won't be a problem because the girls and I get along very well.
As you can see, I have updated my profile and put up my graduation picture. I felt like it was time to come out of the shadows after much thought. I feel that if I want to be taken seriously in the blogging world, I need to be more like the other great nursing bloggers that I like. I have made every effort to make sure that patient confidentiality is maintained as usual due to the rules of course. So here goes! Drum roll please!!!!
