Amy Farnsworth, L.D.



So I am official at the hospital now. My very own name badge came in this week and there has been no turning back since. I have been seeing patients for over a week now and my responsibility continues to expand. My hours are flexible but I am keeping them about 8-5 each day. Some days I stay later and others I get to leave about 4. My boss Connie has been a huge blessing and so helpful. I am continuing to ask questions daily but she takes time to explain them and ensure that I am getting along well. My office is still naked because I am waiting to see my parents this weekend to pick up my framed diplomas and to get a poster framed for my office. But I will post pictures soon enough.

Overall, I am loving what I do and I can't believe that I actually get paid to do it. The funniest part thus far is that I already have a student under me. Technically I can't sign off on any of her checklists but she makes rounds with me and does what I tell her. Granted, I think that I am cool because I was just in her shoes so I really don't want her to do some of the crap work that I had to do. I hope that she thinks I am not making her do that.

I promise to have a little more fun with the next post. Sorry that this one is just so dry and boring....
