Float

I floated to the towers (main hospital) yesterday. It was a great new experience. I started out quite nervous, but the other nurses made me feel welcome, and once I got into the routine, it went well. Had two discharges, then had 3 patients for a while, and then like lightening the craziness started. We got six admits within about 2 hours. I felt bad for not getting the admission health profiles done, but the other two nurses didn't finish all of theirs either so that made me feel a little better. I loved the setup of the unit/pod. So many more computers! Thinking back on the experience, it feels like I was in a different world and a different hospital!
