Start eating to clean out the refrigerator....

...because we only have five days left of the internship :)

I spent the past three weeks with the Metabolic Support team, practicing TPNs and working on tube feeds in the ICUs.  The group consisted of five RDs and one PharmD, all carrying the extra CNSC certification.  The past three weeks have been the most stimulating of the internship.  I was originally supposed to spend two weeks with them but I was enjoying the challenge so much that I asked to replace my relief week with some more time with Metabolic Support.  Starting tomorrow, I begin my Peds week--this team handles the children coming into Mission regardless of TPN, TF, or po status.  I'm looking forward to hanging with the babies for a week, but I get the sense that I may have some difficulties with the neglect, abuse, and genetic defects which caused their admittance.  I'm hoping to emphasize any positives, though.  

I'm looking forward to sleeping in my own bed again.
