Work is great!

I had my first solo shift on Saturday. After a relatively quiet orientation (very sore feet though), Saturday was frantic. It was a manageable pace, but by 3:30pm (started at 7am) I was exhausted.

I like the mix of customer service, dealing with sick patients, some autonomy and not having the burden of any major responsibility. While I realise with increasing medical knowledge, increasing responsibility is essential for growth, but I am not in a huge hurry...I am enjoying my medical "childhood" of watching and even trying, but much less stress in patient care.
