Day 9

Day 9:

                Well its day nine and it is my last day to volunteer before I myself will be at the desk registering to have my son.   Tammy is back and it is nice to know that my last day here is working with her because she is the one who helped make my experience so great.  We got to do a few bed side registrations.  The first couple were a success; however, we did have a miscommunication with the charge nurse causing a mix up in rooms.  The charge nurse was furious, but it really was not a huge deal.  So, day nine was spent reminiscing, helping everyone who came in of course, also it was spent discussing the excitement, and nerves that were starting to come about for me.  Tammy could not wait until I was checked in.  She kept telling me that it had better be while she was working and not at night.  Day nine was sad but very enjoyable.  I was sad it was my last day here, but at the same time, I felt that what I experienced would be more beneficial to me than I could ever imagine along with the idea that I helped the St. Elizabeth team succeed.   So, while it seems as though I did not do a whole lot more than sit at a desk and give directions, I feel like the little bit I did get to do helped the hospital and inspired myself.
