Almost the end of the month

Okay, so it's about time for the next rotation to start and that means big changes for me. First off, it's July which means that new interns will be starting. I'll be through my first year of residency. Technically, in my program you have to have 16 months of residency before you supervise interns so I'm a "super-tern" for four more months. This is COMPLETELY fine with me since I'm still nervous about having more responsibility. It's really intimidating.

Second, I'll be switching back to pediatrics - I better dust off my pedi-scope! I'm in the NICU (Neonatal Intensive Care Unit). This will be kind-of new stuff for me because it's been a long time since I've taken care of NICU babies or done any circumcisions but I'm excited to have the chance.

So, that's about where I'm at right now. Nervous.... excited... all at the same time.
