so close

As I am looking forward to graduation, I am taking steps to improve and solidify my resume for med school. One of the things i just got involved in was volunteering at the hospital here in seguin. my first day was this Wednesday and i was assigned to the ER. I was kinda excited because it is the 'ER'. From all the TV shows, it seems like the ER is the most exciting place in the whole world, so my expectations were high. So i get there and was ready to go but things didn't exactly turn out the way i anticipated...it was a little boring and things were as fast paced as they usually are on TV, there were no blood and guts and no one was running to get things done. i guess the reason is because the hospital is not a trauma center(not too sure) and seguin is small so there is not a lot of the crazy things that happen in bigger cities. Another reason is because i couldn't do anything hands on because i don't have any experience or certification. But I got to work in the triage as a HUC (health unit coordinator) to help out some of the nurses and i loved it...it was great to help people and there was never a dull moment. I was able to learn a lot of new things from the nurses who were willing to teach me. Each day I work there will be a step closer to being certain that working in the health field is what I want to do.
