Renal Floor...CHECK!


Greetings from Margo!

This week, I actually felt like an inpatient dietitian! I charted and visited patients all week on my own. I never thought that I'd get the hang of things so quickly--granted, I still have a TON to learn. At the beginning of the week, I maybe charted on 2-3 patients, but once Friday rolled around, I took about half of the patients that needed to be seen! It is truly a thrill. I'm going to miss the RD I've been working with for the past week and a half. She was extremely helpful, patient, and knowledgeable. But, I'm excited to see what adventures are in store for me on the medical/surgical floor!

I am really starting to feel at "home" at the hospital. I no longer feel like the new intern...instead, I feel more like an employee. I eat lunch with the other dietitians and talk about nutrition hot topics...it's seriously heaven on earth for me.  :)

God continually reassures me each time I walk through those hospital doors that this is what He has called me to do. Words can't even begin to describe the joy it gives me to serve others in this capacity. 

My experiences this week made me think of this quote:


I most definitely feel alive and I thank God each day for this!

Have a beautiful weekend!
