Supernumerary day on ward

Well first actually day on the ward but supernumerary. Abit of a shock to the system having to be at work again for 7. Didn't feel too nervous today as I knew I wasn't included in the numbers. I mainly spent the day with the CNS Clinical Nurse Specialist, who is the educator on the ward. We went through lots of policies and procedures which apply to the ward.
Their are very up on cytotoxic drugs and have to complete log when come in contact with any cytotoxic drugs. You have yearly blood checks which I thought was a good idea. I also has a practice of what to if had a cytotoxic spillage. I feel it is going to be a nice ward with lots of new things to do. When I finished at 3.30 even went home with homework. As have to do worksheets for syringe driver, giving blood products and cytotoxic package.
When got home we were supposed to be going out tonight to Surreyhills, but everyone tired. So we decided to give it a miss and watched films on TV and I fell asleep on sofa.
