Lost my crutch

Today was the first day of my pediatrics rotation. I didn’t actually do any work today, but we went through orientation and got our schedules straightened out. Here’s mine:

Week 1: Floor (with one 24 hour call on Thursday, and one 12 hour night call on Saturday)
Week 2: Clinic
Week 3: Nursery/NICU
Week 4: Pediatrics ER (three 12 hour shifts TBD)
Week 5: Pediatrics ER (three 12 hour shifts TBD)
Week 6: Floor (with one 24 hour call TBD, and one 12 hour night call TBD)

I’m actually kind of excited to be working with the kiddies. During orientation, the director made a comment that made me smile. She said, “don’t forget that some things are different with children…for example, urinate = pee pee and defecate = poo poo.” This made me immensely happy. I can already tell that I’m going to love peds!
