Kickin' it in the HCH

Worked my first shift at Huntsman today. I will be orienting on the surgical floor for about a month before I'm on my own. Boy was it busy. Arrival time 6:53 am. First bathroom break 3:00pm. Lunch break 3:30pm. Departure time 8:00pm. Despite the business/craziness, I had a really good day. First of all, I get to care for one of the best group of people--oncology (cancer) patients. I just love them. They have the best attitudes, are so kind and humble and teach me so much about life and having hope. Second, I felt so welcomed by the staff. Immediately I felt at home which is so hard when you are new. Third, I have the great opportunity to work at a hospital that is nationally recognized and is the designated cancer center for five states in the Intermountain West. It has a wonderful reputation in research and patient care. Plus it is like working in an elegant hotel. Super super nice. And a killer view. Fourth ,"The Point Bistro" located on the top floor. This will become the home of many lunch breaks :)
