Two thirty in the morning now, finally get sit down and relax, still have some dictation to do, but I am too hungry and tired to do it right now, will do it right after this writing, hehe.

Today is a busy call day, my resident is still busy working in ER, but I get capped, which is very nice. I love this “cap” policy in my hospital, as an intern,  you are not allowed to admit more than 5 patients every night, after 5, your resident will do the work for you. My resident is doing his 7^th now, unfortunately he is not covered by the cap policy, I feel bad and asked him earlier if there is anything I can do, but he said no, he is fine.  I think after the first year training, he is efficient enough to handle the situation.

Earlier this night, I got paged by a nurse. After discussing about the patient, I said thank you for the help as usual, she said no problem, and then she said it’s fun to watch me working. I could not recall her face because there are so many nurses, social workers, other staff working on the floor. She said every morning, I walked in to ward with excited mood and pleasant smile on my face.

I didn’t even notice that. All I can remember is the sleepiness and tiredness every 5:30am when the alarm clock goes off. My resident told me on my very first day, always be nice to nurse,  I guess that’s why I always keep my smile, but I am tired and frustrated inside, just my smile covers them, which is good. It’s always a pleasure to work with someone is happy, well, at least appears to be.
