As part of the ancillary nursing staff, the technician is a cover-all role for all the random and labor-intensive tasks of the emergency room. Being a tech is one of the most interesting and difficult jobs one can have and I hope you enjoy my stories from the bottom of the healthcare ladder at a busy city ER. HIPAA: None of the names I use are those of real patients.

First Time for Everything
I can log a few firsts tonight:
My first confrontation with a co-worker.
My first instigation of a confrontation ever.
My first time trying to speak French with a patient.
My first time observing a glass eye at close range.
My first time taking a break to let off steam.
My first traumatic code
Working my first traumatic code death without help.
My first time being directly appreciated and recognized by a co-worker.
Which of these should I start with in my next entry?
