1st Day in the ER

Thought I was going to barf all over the ER waiting room while I waited for my preceptor.

Once I met her, all my fears went away. She is so nice, encouraging, and supportive and I am very lucky to have her as a preceptor. She already started scheming on ways to get me hired into the ER there. Fat chance, but the sentiment is sweet.

I dropped an 18G into someone with huge veins, but I got it on the first try and I felt good about that!

Saw nurses save the hospital a butt ton of money in the form of an intubation kit: Medical Alert called for an OD who has been given Narcan x4 in the field without response and is being bagged by EMS. The doctor waiting wanted to open the intubation kit and all the nurses advised her not to, since its against their hospital protocol. Doctor complained and complained. Then the guy shows up sitting upright and talking :)
