Day 2: Diabetic Carb Counting and Code of Ethics

Vale,
Day two, not so bad.. worked on some carb counting for diabetic patients. It is nice to have a intern director leading the program that is very straight forward about what we need to know and does not make us memorize/ spend countless hours doing extra work that is not practical for our field like so many other professors have done in the past. (Thank you Elise!) We also learned how important it is to have integrity especially when it comes to patients and doing the best thing for them and not just cutting corners to keep costs down in this crazy economy.  
The code of ethics has finally been updated and is actually interesting to read (need to always know how to protect your butt in the medical field!).  Still lots to read and catch up on and many more tutorials to do online which is difficult to do with a Pretty Little Liars Marathon on. I cannot wait to get this book stuff out of the way and get down to business, so excited to be hands on.  I am starting to feel more and more prepared with each passing day so hopefully by my first day in a hospital I won't fatally injure anyone... having a dream that I gave someone the wrong enteral nutrition formula and causing there feeding tube to explode and kill them was not exactly the best dream to start the week out to =/ .  Need to get off this blog/ facebook and done to some serious reading!


Salvete!
