Off of night shift!

Hello everyone..yes I made it through the night shift about 2 and a half weeks total. It wasn't as difficult to stay awake as I had thought. It was harder to sleep...and now the change back is incredibly difficult. I'm tired but I can't seem to fall asleep when I want to. I start dayshift tomorrow so hopefully tonight will be different. Our little apartment is on the main drag so it's got the white noise I love to fall asleep to. We took a drive up highway 29 to Calistoga the other day. It's a beautiful drive that I'm sure we will take many times while we are here. There's one part of the road by the Beringer Winery that is shaded over by these beautiful trees..plus all along the roadside are the vineyards. It's really like no other place I've seen. There is also an Old Faithful here in California along highway 29..we'll be going back up to see that for sure. I'm working on getting pictures put up on the blog...bear with me. So dayshift starts next week and the Joint Commission will be here the first week of June. The whole place is in an uproar as you can imagine. I think it's easier for us travelers because we don't have the bad habits that the regular staffers do. We just do things like they showed us in orientation and we'll be ok. The hardest thing to remember to do is asking the patients their name and birthday with each pill or treatment. I think slowing down will help...easier said than done I know. Well, have a good week..
