First Day of Training

Well this is going to be my first entry. I don't know what quite to say but here it goes. I walked into the room expecting very little; a table or two, and lots of teaching about techniques and procedures. It was very different from what I expected. The room was set up with 3 rows of tables seating 9 people each, and in front of each seat was a binder that was basically the manual. The training comprised of; a lecture about patient confidentiality and how if we break it we would suffer very bad consequences, some training with pulse, respiration, and temperature, and why we, as teen interns, should take pride in the fact that we are making a difference in the community. The training was enjoyable but what really got to me were the people that were accepted alongside me. Most were of Hispanic background and there were very few Asians.  This scared me at first because I always felt more comfortable with Asians, its just they way I grew up. However, everyone was extremely friendly and polite, making the training a pleasant experience. I met a couple people, Shanze and Enrique were the two that really made an impression on me. I'll be following up on those two in my next post. I'll talk to you later.
