Back In The Workforce
This week Holly began orientation for her new job. Yes, that’s right. Holly has re-entered the workforce. This time though, instead of playing with surgical tools, she gets to play with real live people.
Let me start at the beginning. A few weeks back, Holly found a job posting for a LPN in the psych ward at a hospital in Ogden. It was a part time position and she was itching to start using her nursing abilities so she applied, interviewed, and got the job.
The job will be good for a few reasons. First, Holly will have better benefits than I do which is never a bad thing. It’s also an IHC facility which we learned from her stint at LDS Hospital is just plain awesome. (They treated her really well when she worked for them before.) They will also work around her school schedule which will allow her to finish her last semester of nursing school, become a RN, then move to a different department (hopefully labor and delivery.) Probably the best part though is that she’ll get experience in a medical field. Sure, she could go to work at a nursing home but who wants to do that when you can work in a psychiatric ward?
Like I said before, this week is just orientation so Holly has it pretty easy so far. Next week she’ll start doing her real job. I imagine that it’ll be something like working at Arkham Asylum where she’ll encounter the likes of the Joker and Two-Face. That scares me but I know that it’s just my comic book nerd imagination running away. She’ll probably just be dealing with people who forgot to take their medication for depression or schizophrenia. (Although I’m sure that the Joker was prescibed some sort of meds at one point. Think he just forgot to take them?)

you know, working in a nursing home is sometimes not that different from a psych ward….
True, but have you ever seen a comic book where the super villain was in a nursing home? That’s what I thought…
