The staff on the unit ordered Indian food for my last shift (note: this is just a photo from the Internet). I arrived a few minutes early yesterday and put out some cookies and chips that I bought for the staff in the nurse's lounge, my way of thanking them for the last 10 weeks. From my perch at one end of the unit I could see a steady stream of purple uniforms going in and out of the nurse's lounge. And when I went in an hour later to check on the status of the cookies, half were gone. Conclusion: nurses here can also be won over with a few trays of baked goods as evidenced by the fact that every single nurse I passed on the unit yesterday thanked me for the treats as I walked by. The cookies definitely put everyone in a good mood!
I said goodbye to Souyma and thanked her for her patience and for everything I had learned on the unit. She really is a wonderful nurse and I'm so lucky to have been paired up with her. I said goodbye to a few of the friends I had met there. I'm still planning on meeting a few of my lunch buddies: Adrian, Rose and Joy, for dinner tomorrow evening and I hope we stay in touch afterwards.
A photographer from the U of C came to the hospital on the previous day and took a bunch of pictures of us with our preceptors so I'm hoping to post some of those next week.
