Well, the third week has officially started. This week I have project days, or days dedicated only to finishing projects. But, that doesn't mean it'll be easy. At all.
Today was our first in-service. My partner and I actually created and held an in-service based around knife cleaning, use, and safety. It was neat to actually present to a group of kitchen staff and have them understand and (seem) interested. We learned (beforehand, of course) how to use a knife sharpener and how to cut properly, so we could show staff. Then, we had them take a short quiz and a pledge. The main problem is, is that staff are using knives for things they shouldn't be used for; opening bags, cutting open boxes, etc. So, hopefully they obtained some new information and hopefully will make changes.
Then, the rest of the day was spent preparing for tomorrow's in-services, which are about cleaning, sanitation, and proper hand washing techniques. We made a sweet poster of how to properly wash your hands and someday I'll figure out how to post it here. That in-service is a little more formal than today's in-service. It will be held in a classroom with PowerPoint and quizzes. Whereas today was more of a short, 15-20 min class on proper knife use.
While I do have all these project days and I do get a lot of homework done at the hospital, I come home and still feel like I have lots to do.
So, sadly there probably won't be any updates that are too exciting this week. Just trying to wrap everything up.
