emergency intubation, anticoagulants, CBC panel stat.

I've been weirdly anxious about the new job. All the training is putting me through means a lottttt of staring at their software, creating fake children with fake pneumonia and then running them through a hospital stay. Every now and then I take a test or have a "graded" assignment that is necessary for me to eventually begin doing full-fledged writing-about-it work.

The anxiety never crops up at work itself. Instead my sleep is bad several nights a week, and I halfawake dream about my class schedule conflicting with my meeting schedule, or long involved processes of building orders for urinalysis. I'm actually really enjoying learning how to build things in the system (user security privileges, as one really oddly fun example), but the text-based screens and infinite keystrokes of that process are also working their way into some of the strangest nonsleep.

But I was watching TV the other night and a doctor rattled off a complex chain of orders in an emergency situation and I completely understood what he was saying, so that's pretty great.
