so I'm going to have to figure out some things. I'm sure it comes with practice. I was really fried when I got home and as I'm sorting it all out I realised a lot of it was from the emotional side of the job. Getting attached to patients but NOT attached. I know this is something that both comes with the territory and is something to be careful about. I have to allow myself to sympathise but not emphasize. (i think I have that right?) A good NA is receptive but not overwhelmed. I really think its just going to take some practice and experience. I was so frazzled but as I'm slowly thinking through the day I realised that everything really hinged on that. A good meal and some time to think and the world is looking a little brighter! I helped a lot of people and that's important. Also An interesting thing happened to me though! I think its kind of cool. I had a patients mom of a very little person come up to me in Walmart. One of my first patients. She was gushing away and thanking me and asking me about my daughters appy. It was interesting. It happens to my hubby all the time but it was a first for me.

so my hubby called tonight after I got kiddos tucked in bed. I feel all better now! Aren't hubbies great! He said one the ER nurses asked about me, heard I was just starting out and said "has she had her first meltdown yet?" Apparently it is VERY common for this job in the first week to take its toll, usually by wednesday or so she said. Isn't it nice to know I'm right on track! It makes me feel so much more normal.
