I know that I already posted a blog about starting out, but this is a different kind of starting out. As some of you may or may not know, I recently accepted a job offer with Catholic Health Initiatives as a Technical Service Analyst (pronounced "computer guy") at St. Vincent hospital in Little Rock. Today was my first day. Orientation started at 8 am, after a brief stint with the HR clinic, where I was cheerfully provided with a Tuberculosis Skin Test, a MMR (measles, mumps and rubella) update, and a flu vaccine. I also got my picture taken for my security badge (so much worse than a driver's license photo, almost a mugshot). Orientation was just slightly less useful than utterly useless for me, considering that 99.34% of the material covered during the orientation session was aimed at the patient care employees. FYI, the 0.66% of material that was useful to me pertained to parking--where I can and cannot park and what happens when I park somewhere I'm not supposed to. The most interesting part of the whole thing was how I managed to stay awake the entire time. There wasn't even a "get-to-know-your-way-around-a-confusing-hospital" tour, and no maps provided!
Here's hoping the second day is more useful than the first. At least there won't be any more Orientation.
I'm going to get so lost...
