Today was my second day of orientation at Duke Raleigh. Check out my awesome badge!!! I feel so official. Working at the hospital comes with all kinds of perks too: memberships, educational opportunities, a mobile farmers market every friday in the parking garage, discounts EVERYWHERE, and today I got signed up for the Race for the Cure race this Saturday for FREE! I am not going to lie though, orientation is horribly boring. I am actually really tired... I didn't get much sleep last night. One of my roommates, Kayla, made an amazing dinner of tomato basil chicken, sauteed squash & cucumber, corn, green beans, bread, and peach cobbler. All of the food was from the farmer's market too. I stayed up until 12, was awoken by the other roomies at 12:30, went back to sleep, and then got up at 5:45am for my day of work. BLAH. I have had a mad head ache all day. Therefore, this is going to be very short. One great thing about orientation is that it has helped me to feel even more confident of my call to nursing and where I am right now. I have had different people (old nurses about to start working at Duke Raleigh) give me their "advice" about how I should join the military for more respect, or to skip nursing altogether and be a doctor to focus on medicine. In the past I would have let other people's advice confuse me, but what good does that do? I know I am here for a reason and am doing what I am supposed to be doing. That is good enough for me!
