Ok even though the rough draft just came out, majority of us got our rotation list unofficially. By unofficially, we asked around for the website link to check out where they would assign us. It's one of those things where we have to know otherwise it'll eat us alive. There should have been an e-mail sent to us to let us know what our rotation sites are, but we just can't wait...SERIOUSLY we can't.
Unfortanately, for people that were assigned to other location such as Houston, they are still in the pending status. Most of my sites are in Austin which is super sweet because the thought of renting at two different places would kill me financially. I feel bad for other people that have to drive at the far end of towns....Dripping springs, Kileen, Waco, Fort Hood. I didn't get all the sites I wanted, but I'm happy with what I have. I just have this gut instinct that I will learn a lot and I will get dominated in a way where I will get the information drilled in my head.
After being in school for about two weeks, I realize that I still feel a bit unprepared when I walk into the classrooms. I couldn't save myself in lab for the life of me. It was like all this knowledge that I learned the past two and half years just disappeared on me. This is like what I want to be good at. The disease state, the drugs, the lab values, the presentations, the ability to be articulate my speech so I don't feel stupid in front of my professors and peers.
Work is just getting worse. They've officially cut my hours to almost once a month now. I went to talk to my boss about putting me on intern leave so that I can remain dormant in the system and I don't have to worry about that anymore. I don't really care much about working a lot since I have to focus on school, but lately I've been picking up my co-workers shift when they either have gotten sick or leaving town. It worked out well for me these past week. I've been able to use up all of my vacation days since it's on an hour per day basis pay for vacay time. I'm sure things will change pretty soon with the new central filling that they are working on.
More to come in due time kids.
