And so another rotation begins! I started at Lovelace Medical Center in downtown Albuquerque today. It is a large, non-trauma center hospital with around 255 beds. They recently acquired the Heart Hospital of New Mexico across the street, which has another 55 beds. I shadowed another traveling PT today, getting the lay of the land. The main hospital is a ten-story building so it will take a little extra to figure my way around.
I was floored when I looked at the staff pager list and there were 37 names on it!! It is a huge staff, including some prn(as needed) staff. And there are multiple traveling therapists. I'd guess 8 or 9! Having all of the staff(I counted at least 27) in one small room at lunch today was a little overwhelming, but it will be good to get to know some of them and to talk 'travel'.
Dad and I are thinking about taking the train up to Santa Fe on Saturday and do some abbreviated sightseeing before he returns to Ohio on Sunday. Hopefully I will have some fun pictures to post after that trip.
