My Great News and Kind of Bad News

jannieC · #1 11-28-2006, 04:56 PM

Great News: I'm in my first year as a graduate student and begining in January I will be working as an intern. We had our interviews last month and I just found out yesterday that I got an awesome placement. I'll be interning at a major hospital and I am really excited about it. With this first placement, you have no choice where you end up. I could have landed a job at a local DSS or in Child Protective Services somewhere. I couldn't have chosen a better placement if I HAD a choice. I may end up doing my full time placement there if things work out well. So, I'm very excited!

Kind of Bad News: I never get sick, right? I went to bed last night with a semi-sore throat and woke up this morning feeling like total hell. I called in sick to work which I never do) AND I didn't go to class today (which I have not done this whole semester) I don't have a fever but I'm dizzy and nauseous and have a really bad headache. One of my friends is coming to pick me up and we're going to the university clinic (she's sick, too). Poor me.

Congrats on the internship!!! That is awesome news...

And sorry about being sick

Guess it's the season for it - I hope you get to feeling better soon and I hope it's not something horrid like The Flu or Strepthroat...*shudder*

Congrats on the internship! I was getting sick last week and started taking Airborne which seems to have taken care of it. You could try that.

Feel better.

I just spent two hours in the infirmary to find out I'm not really that sick? I didn't even get to see a doctor- just a nurse. She told me to take ibuprofen, immodium, pepto-bismol (sp?) and ginger ale.

*not happy*

That does suck - but at least you don't have anything serious!

Just a nurse?!#@$@

In all honesty, most of the orders come from the nurse....They just can't put them in writing.

I thought of you after I wrote that.

Actually I never have a problem seeing a nurse, they just can't write prescriptions. Really, the only thing I wanted was phenergan for the nausea but oh well. She said I wasn't sick "long enough" (it only started this morning) to see a doctor. I have a family practitioner that I usually see, so I will go to her if I don't get better.

that's awesome! I'm so happy for you.

but I hate you're sick. sounds kinda like the flu to me. better get a shot of something. hope you feel better soon!

BTFLCHLD · #12 11-28-2006, 09:17 PM

yah jannie!

So perfect you are where you want to be!

I hope what you have is just a little bug and you are all better now.

Congratulations on the good news!
Now make them give you some Phenergan. That is the best stuff for nausea but it makes me go to sleep.

DavidMn · #14 11-29-2006, 12:21 AM

I hate being sick like that.It's totally misreable. Hope you feel better soon.

Wow! That is great!

What a blessing, you totally lucked out.
And the sickness will pass.

I got a sore throat yesterday, too. Not sick, though. Chest congestion. I think I just did too many things that give people sore throats and chest congestion over my lazy, lazy, lazy Thanksgiving holiday. I also never get sick. Weird.

I hope you rebound quickly so you can have endless happy time thinking about your internship!
