Good afternoon everyone,
So last night I went to my first ever night shift. I went voluntarily - partly curiosity, partly to socialise with people. My impression was that it wasn't as bad as I predicted. I wasn't sure how well my brain would cope with staying up all night, but it managed remarkably well. It's struggling a bit now however as I was awake all day yesterday, all night and then slept for 4 hours this morning, I feel that is reasonable.
But I successfully extracted my second ever arterial blood gas sample, followed people around and looked at things, read some stuff, was generally fairly useless, and was still reasonably coherent in the morning. Hurrah!
Then I had one of my most detailed dreams ever recalled between 9am and 1pm today. It was quite a good one too.
Now I will faff around for the weekend and perhaps do some study at some point. And perhaps take some pictures of things maybe.
