Get on the inbound Red Line in Harvard Square, switch to the outbound green line at park street, hop on the E train to longwood medical center (because thats the only one I can take to get to bwh/brighams circle) HOPEFULLY Get my ID Badge, hop back on the inbound E train to Copely square, switch to any other outbound train to Kenmore Squre (FENWAY!!!!), Go to work......and hope to god my head doesn't explode.
Thankfully, I made it. And I got my badge. And I have to say, I'm quite proud of myself....The orientation was tedious....but I now know each and every color of the rainbow has something to do with a disaster that can occur at the hospital (Who knew Code White was a bomb threat?). Orientation took almost 5 hours, and There were SOOOO many forms to keep track of, but I MADE IT!!!! To whoever does this internship next year, track me down and I can show you how to do this like a pro.
I also love everyone at the lab...they're all wicked funny!!! Everybody's soooo nice, and I actually felt pretty at ease on my first day!!! (When I got there at 3 and worked till 5.....so not really a full day.) I couldn't do anything science related, unfortunatley, but I did set up my own personal bwh account, complete with email and password. Then I got to read AGAIN all about patient confidentiality (They couldn't let me work until I took an online course on patient treatment and respect for research....consent and everything...). But I can't WAIT for tomorrow!!
Oh, and my ID badge photo? Its hideous....Shrek meets Frankenstein meets awkward teenager.
