Woke up sick…

After a bad day yesterday at the career fair, I woke up at 1am with a stuffed nose and full on sore throat. Grrrrr…

I called my preceptor and told him I wasn’t coming in. My husband woke up with a sore throat too. Crapola.

So frusterating. I am trying not to use it as an excuse to eat bad. I drank a vanilla shake already. I wanted to exercise tonight and everything. I wanted to go to the hospital today, it was my inpatient day and I was going to go on rounds.

The job fair was horribly crowded and sucked. I don’t want to work chain retail. I don’t want to work for CVS or Walgreens and have to check 2 scrips per minute and never get to talk to my patients. I am just going to have to take the “other road”. The harder, crappier road that means I won’t make as much but who cares. I did like the staffing company but I would have to travel a lot which I would miss my routine, husband, and fur babies.

SO I am thinking more and more about residency. I am really thinking about going to the inner city hospital that is hooked in with the children’s hospital. I talked to the guy yesterday and he said I could do a few months at the children’s hospital in whatever area I wanted. I know a lot of people say it’s “ghetto” and the people are weird but oh well. Those are the people who need the most help. They just builtĀ a huge new diabetes center and they have openings in the women and infant section and a bunch of others for clinical pharmacists. Ah! I never knew graduating was so confusing.

Anyways, I am doing ok. Stupid cold. I hope I get better fast b/c we go to the Northland clinic on Monday and I love it b/c we see kids all day and it’s fun.

I have read all your blogs but didn’t comment, sorry. I do know what everyone is up to ;)
