I started my new job as a phlebotomist at Beaumont Royal Oak 2 weeks ago. It's a really great job. I love interacting with the patients. It's nice because I'm on different floors all the time and the job is constantly changing. It was pretty scary at first because that hospital is soo big, but I'm starting to get the hang of it. Some of the ladies that I work with are nice and some are just plain mean. On my first day, one women walked into the lab, stopped dead in her tracks looked me up and down, shook her head and kept walking. Come on, seriously. it was pretty sad. I just keep to myself and get my work done. I don't have time for drama. I'm taking on the attitude that I'm not there to make friends, but if I do, that's great.
Some of the women are great, on the other hand. Really willing to help, and get you on your feet. I've learned so much, and I've been able to apply alot that I learned in school to this job. But I can tell, it's going to be the kind of job that you learn from doing.
The hardest thing is getting up at 3am, to be at work by 4:15. People are just coming home from their night out, and I'm driving to work. It's nice tho, cause I'm out at 1pm. This is going to be so great in the summer! I will be at the pool everyday!!!
On another note, I still haven't spoken to my dad or my brother. They don't think they've done anything wrong. Which blows my mind. I don't know how someone can say "that they don't want me over to their house while they aren't there, because they don't know what I will do" isn't mean or hurtful.(said by my brother) Or saying that I think I'm a doctor and should just mind my own business (My dad said this in regards to my mom being sick). I have decided to take my therapists advice and just walk away, take the high road, be the bigger person. How ever you want to word it. I don't deserve to be treated like that.
