Midway thoughts
Sep. 7th, 2009 10:00 pmSo I've made it halfway through my first Rotation, and have come to some conclusions.
1. Nuclear Pharmacy is not for me.
2. I actually miss seeing patients.
3. Though I don't miss dealing with their crappy insurance.
Seriously, I'm bored at this place. My preceptor is on vacation, so I find myself struggling to find things to do. You can only fill up syringe boxes so many times a day, after all.
I like the kickback attitude in some ways, though. I'm still very exhausted from the end of last semester and being on my feet all day at this place, so not having oodles of reports and projects to do when I get home at night is nice. I've been watching Avatar: The Last Airbender and reading the Ranger's Apprentice series.
Though not all is fun and games. We have quizzes and a professional poster to work on for our bi-weekly regional conferences, so I still have to study somewhat. Definitely not what I feel like doing after being on my feet all day. I got some insoles to help with the feet/leg/back pain, so we'll see how those go during the week.
I still miss home, though it's not quite so bad anymore. My Sac Home is starting to feel more homey (getting that bookcase and filling it up definitely helped me feel better!), so I suppose I'm adjusting. Still, when Sunday night rolls around, it's hard for me to get in the car and return to Sac Home. I cherish my weekends back Home with the family. :)
