Oh, now this is interesting

I'm vaguely terrified that one of the first things I got to learn to do today was complete an incident report.

However, at the moment, I'm slightly more worried about what I've done to my body with the bizarro schedules of the past two years, which have included "Thursdays from Hell" that consisted of either class during the day and work 4 to midnight, clinical during the day and work 4 to midnight, or tutoring during the day and work 4 to midnight. Because as much as I like to say I don't have an internal clock anymore, the thing is, it's just not a diurnal one. It's a weekly one. I've adapted to essentially being a first-shifter Monday through Wednesday, pulling a double on Thursday, and then working third shift for the weekend.

That was great while it was needed. However, I have to be back to work for stupid-o'clock tomorrow (how much am I going to love next week when I'm on second shift where I belong?), so it would be nice if I could, you know, fall asleep sometime before midnight. Except my body clearly realizes it's Thursday and thinks I still have another couple of hours of work to go. *facepalm*

But overall, how's the job seem to be so far?

I'm getting the impression that the reason this place is hiring new grads (and quite a few of us) is to clean house. Meanwhile, after last night, I'm a bit more confident in my ability to handle supervising, which is good. I just can't wait to do my actual *nursing* orientation and do some patient care. That is why I went to school for this, after all.

So overall, cautiously good with a hefty dose of "we shall see."
