5 little words that make my heart sing....

IKEA is coming to Miami!!!!!!!!!!!

My favorite, favorite, favorite homegoods store will be opening up a location right here in Miami!!!!!! I am so excited.

Expected open date......summer of 2007. Guess who will be making a nurse's salary by then???? ME!!!! SQUEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Peds is going miserably. I am so disappointed. I was so looking forward to this rotation because I know that peds is my calling. However, nothing has gone the way I had hoped. The lecture classes are horendous. The teacher should not be allowed to write exams. On this last one she duplicated almost half the test. Like you are going along, and you get a horrible sense of dejavu.....again, and again, and again. 10 questions were duplicates. All on rheumatic fever, which is going the way of polio. Grrrrrrr.....

Clinicals aren't much better. Clinical days are spent mostly standing in the halls. We can't access information because it is locked in the computers. (At first, I thought computer charting, how cool. Which I am sure it is if you WORK THERE!) We can't give meds unless they are PO. Which for my 1 month old RSV patients they never are. We can't do anything. The highlight of my clinicals was holding down a little girl so the nurse could force her to take PO antibiotics, and not compromise her IV line.

2 weeks to go and it is all over, and I feel like I have gotten nothing from this rotation. Then we jump right into OB.

So disappointing. I will have to console myself with retail therapy. Too bad IKEA is not yet open.
