I survived my first day back...

So I worked my first day back at the hospital after being off for 20 months. Don't worry, I didn't "fry" my patients like in the cartoon above ;) The day went pretty well - in a way it seemed like I had never left and some things were just the same as before, but other things have changed and it's going to take some getting used to. The equipment they now have they got just before I left so I am getting used to working with it now, I'm still used to the old equipment. The portable x-ray machine is new too, I went to take a portable x-ray in ICU and was going to plug the cord into the wall - luckily the tech with me saw and informed me that this new machine does not need to be plugged in to take an exposure, it's battery powered and only is plugged in to charge. I was surprised to see that when I tried logging into the computer system when I arrived there first thing in the morning, my username and password was still in the system - I guess they were anticipating all along that I would return at some point?? Sweetie did well at home with Daddy too. Calvin survived his first day of watching Rebecca for more than a few hours. And he gets to do it all over again tomorrow....my second day back at work. My next shift after that isn't till next Friday. Well, it's getting late, better get to bed here soon....
