Last night I lived through my first night shift (11pm-715am) at the hospital! After recently finishing up my Health Care Aid practicum, I was offered a job as an HCA in the continuing care unit of the Three Hills Hospital. During our practicum, all of our shifts were days, so I was extremely excited to learn all that goes on while everyone else is fast asleep, and see if I have what it takes to actually handle working the shift without crashing. For the past week I have been busy doing Evening shifts for Home Care, so I was a little worried about my first night shift experience being a bit of a double shift... but I made it through, and loved every minute of it!
While coffee might have had some hand in helping me, I was able to make it through both shifts back to back, and remain fully alert and energetic until after leaving the hospital, at which point even a hard floor looked good enough to sleep on.
I am looking forward to my next shift!

~not sure if you remember this or not but when you were five years old and were playing on a lil league soccer team you would often stop in the middle of the game and help a team mate up if they fell (sometimes they were on the other team!!!) It is such a blessing to see how God is using your caring personality to give some comfort to others in need : ) I'm excited for the plans He has for you :D ... miss ya tons (the picture of you sleeping makes me miss you more, it's a 'mom' thing)~
