School stuff
I have been wanting to post, but it seems like by the time I'm done with everything I have to do, and catch up on FB and LJ, I'm too tired. Now I know how school keeps your brain hostage!
I'm into the second phase of my training now, which is two weeks (well, a total of 5 sessions) of computer training. I'm finding it really taxing. It's not that I don't know the computer system, it just that the training is really fast paced, and if I don't get there really early I'm sitting in back feeling like I can't see what's going on. I feel a little slow compared to how well I did in the classroom, and this surprises me because I thought I would rock in this section. I did get 100% on my surprise (more like "shock") test on the first day. They threw a bunch of stuff at us, went over it a little, and then told us we were getting a test that we had to pass with 85% or we couldn't work the floor. Or else we had to retake the test. I kind of freaked a little, but I aced it.
Now the other thing that is goofy is that they keep changing the times/places where we are to meet for this training. One day it is at the old Osteopathic hospital, the next day it is at the Anderson Center behind Harrison. They also are very ambiguous about what time we are supposed to end the class. For someone like me that is getting dropped off and picked up by Dan, this is very nerve-wracking for both of us. I call Dan and tell him I'm supposed to get out at 9, then I end up getting out at 8:30, and call him to rush and pick me up. Sometimes when I leave the facility, the doors lock and I can't get back in and I'm stuck alone in the dark! I would appreciate a little more organization to this.
So though, all I have left for computer training is tomorrow at Anderson Center, and then next Tues and Wed at Osteopath. Friday is my morning tour of the hospitals. After that I have 5 weeks of Tues/Wed/Thurs 7 a.m. - 2:30 p.m. on the floor clinicals. I'm actually really looking forward to that part. Right now there are 5 jobs posted for HUCS who pass. One is a doctor office and 4 are Covenant. But there are 9 of us in the Covenant clinicals. So I need to be as good as I can. I compete against very young, sharp brains for these jobs.
