I think the hardest thing is the 30 minutes meal break. WTH?

That ain't time to make anything decent and, unless you're in a major hospital, dream on about a salad bar.

My rural hospital (10 acute beds) has a great salad bar.

I'd like fresh fruit, veggies, nuts, and really good freshly ground coffee (not the hospital coffee). I need something that doesn't give me a carb high and then a quick descent into fatigue.

Honestly....if I were you I'd wait until later. It could be viewed by both your instructor..AND your fellow students as sucking up if you do it the first day. Now..if it's after a few weeks..and you do it as a thank you for everyones help, advice..etc...I'd think that would be better recieved.

There are 600 people in this town . . about 3000 in the whole valley.

No salad bar on the weekends though.

Oh, you're in California! No wonder.

Here, health food means jalapeno poppers. Hey, there's a veggie in there! And dairy.

Some of the clinical groups where I work bring in food the very last clinical. Some go all out and have a nice covered dish meal, others just desserts and snacks. But waiting until the end is a nice way to thank the staff for working with you. Unless of course it's one of those units that hates studenets, forgets they were once students and treats them like garbage.

Don't scare me now . .. . . I'll be "orientating" in a new unit soon.

(One of the nurses in my 3 day class this week said "orientating" It took all my willpower to NOT correct her.)
