Paging Dr. Walker.....
Okay, okay, so I'm not really a doctor. I am however, the newest Speech-Pathology extern at McKay-Dee Hospital. I started my externship last Wednesday and it's been a crazy ride ever since. I had no idea going into this that I would have to learn a whole new language. I thought my basic anatomy terms would squeak me by, but I find they're woefully inadequate. For that matter, who knew that the medical field speaks in nothing but acronyms--INR, SNF, ECF, RBC, TCU. Fortunatly, I'm slowly starting to catch on. Despite the new jargon and the many bodily fluids I've seen this week, I find that I'm LOVING working in a hospital. It is so rewarding to use the knowledge I've gained in grad school and make a difference in people's lives. I'm allowed to wear scrubs on the weekends but I didn't have any, so I went to a store by my house. I was floored when I walked in and they actually had cute scrubs!! I thought it was against the rules to wear good looking scrubs. Anyway, I included pictures of me in my new, chic hospital getup.

hot mama! Your scrubs are totally cute! I can't believe you work in a hospital. That seem so weird to me.....oh but I know the real Laura Walker.....goofy, perverted, and always funny! I love you so much. You're awesome!!
So cute! I am happy you are enjoying it! My externships are going well and I am definetly learning a lot. I couldn't imagine being in the hospital and having all that jargon..I would definetly feel overwhelmed. Although, today I had 3 first grade boys at the same time and was feeling overwhelmed with that as well. Can't wait to see you Saturday and hope you continue enjoying your externship. You sure look cute in your scrubs!
Oh my goodness! You are way too stinking funny! Leave it to you to look HOT in scrubs! I love it! I'm glad you love the hopsital. I'm loving the rehab center. Time just flies, doesn't it? It's great to really apply what we've learned!
I love those scrubs, who knew they could be so dang cute! Hey, my Dad works at McKay Dee he is down in the basement though working as the Materials Management Manager. I will let him know you are there, maybe you could get some free lunch or something!
Way cute scrubs! I am so glad that you are enjoying it. We miss you all!
Lar!....You look adorable int SCRUBS!...and let me just say..the whole different "language thing"...is a TREAT! I also started a job where all they speak in is "CODES"....it took me about a month just to get all the acronyms down! I feel your pain sister!
