I started in the medical ICU today. It felt good to be back in the hospital, and especially starting in a rotation I surprisingly enjoyed a lot during medical school. I definitely still feel behind and honestly still feel like a medical student, but I know that the more time I spend doing it the more comfortable I will become with this new responsibility. I still find myself waiting for approval to do really anything, which I think is probably expected to some extent, but also I feel like if I was more confident in my skills I would definitely trying to take more initiative. That is going to be my motivation going forward to really hone in on my clinical skills, develop my workflow, and expand my knowledge base.
I’m feeling excited right now I just hope I can sustain it.
