Change is always good and I believe that we should continually be analyzing our lives to see how we have changed. Yesterday was not only a change of pace but, a great learning experience as well.
You know I have to admit though, it really baffles me that Mercy Ships trusts ME, an 18 year old high school graduate, and thinks I'm responsible enough to work at reception and go throughout the whole hospital and stock all the supplies that they use. I mean really? Haha Do they hear my laugh? Do they really know what they're getting themselves into?
Anyways, I cannot tell you how great working down in hospital supply was. It's weird to think that from 8am-5pm my day was spent restocking ALL the supplies in the entire hospital...pretty sure that cannot be done at home. Only on a ship :)
After a morning spent of visiting the OR, ICU, and all the Wards, we walked down the road to the Dental Clinic and delivered supplies there. Later in the afternoon I went running in and out, up and down many containers retrieving supplies to restock our own supply room. The day was filled with lots of movement(which I love, compared to sitting behind a desk), a scan gun (my favorite), many medical names I've never heard of(I have a lot to learn!), sorting and counting. I just enjoyed being in that environment and seeing the patients!
So as for the rest of the week, today, Wednesday and Thursday I'm working at reception from 7-14:00 and on Friday back to supply!!
