Job shadowing. I feel that's all we've done lately. But I have learned a lot. On Friday, another intern and I job shadowed one of the managers in the Maternal and Child Health Center (MCHC) Room Service from 12:30pm-9pm. That was a long night. I ended up driving back up to CMU that night, hence the not posting all weekend. It was fun, but definitely didn't prepare me for today.
In which I had to wake up at 4am, in order to be at the hospital in Ann Arbor by 5:30am for the 5:30am-2pm shift. Definitely rough. Especially with the commute. This random sleep schedule and lack of sleep in general is making me sick. Runny nose, headache, being flushed. Great. Definitely sleeping in tomorrow because I have a project day; a day where nothing else is planned except the fact I have to be at the hospital, wherever I want, working on whatever project I want to work on. I can make my own hours. Yes...
Overall, the MCHC rotations went well. Another intern and I did tray accuracy audits, portion audits, recipe audits, meal satisfaction surveys, patient surveys, time sheets, planning sheets, and a bunch of random information. It was fun and it was good to see the different managerial styles of the two managers we shadowed. After my project day tomorrow, I'll have to do the 5:30am-2pm shift in the production area on Wednesday and Thursday. I just need to get on a usual schedule or my body is going to royally hate me.
The good news is that the University of Michigan Dietetic Internship open house is this month. Basically prospective 2011 interns can come and get a tour, find out more about the program, talk to current interns (like me!), and put a face-to-the-name for Joyce, the internship director. If you're interested in attending, it's on October 30, and you have to RSVP by October 15 to (click on link):
