Sorry this blog's posting has become about as reliable as a college aged boy calling you back. Ok that's a bit harsh, who even calls people anyways? We'll go with texting back, sometimes boys get around to that. I have been incredibly busy at work, in fact the last two weeks I've worked 7 day stretches in a row with a one day break in between. (If you're thinking this isn't possible, it is. It somehow works and although it is painful, it is also legal. Thanks for caring though!) Anyways, besides coming up with some interesting hair do's or lacktherof at 5:45 in the morning I learn more and more everyday. I am still hostessing but have also been training as the tech. The tech position requires a lot of knowledge that the exam and certification ensure. However, the position needs a lot of training and experience because it entails a ton of multitasking. A lot of responsibility too! The tech corrects orders and is responsible for patients receving their appropriate diet, or getting possible supplements/tube feeds, or making sure their meal doesn't contain anything they are allergic to. Techs are also responsible for giving patients a birthday dessert if they happen to be hospitalized on their bday. Allergens, supplements, tube feeds, birthdays, isolation rooms, carb counting, renal diets, patient 1234 needs 7 splendas and doesn't eat lemon or blueberry yogurt, can you cover this computer while I go to the restroom?, time to take food temperatures, beep beep goes the beeper, is it 4:00 yet?????
Can you tell I wrote this at 6:00 in the morning? Hopefully once I have a day off and rely on a full night's sleep over 5 cups of coffee I will write a full and more detailed post about the tech position before Brad from Bull's texts you back in this lifetime....
