Last semester I visited Lake Pointe hospital to see if it would be a good fit for my residency. I thoroughly enjoyed my visit and decided that the hospital was a great fit for me and that I knew I would get a lot out of the experience. After making this decision, the process of finalizing my spot there began.
During break this week I talked with the hospital’s CEO and my future preceptor about the details of beginning my residency. The main things we discussed were when I would start my residency and about if I needed help finding a place to live.
We both agreed that starting in early June would work. As of now I should be starting my residency on Monday, June 2nd. I am incredibly excited to get out of the classroom for the semester and get some work experience.
The only downside to beginning my residency will be moving. I just made the long move from Orlando to Waco last summer and now I’ll be moving again! After the residency is over I will also need to move back to Waco for my final semester of classes. It is nice to know that the hospital is there to help me find a place to live if I need it! I plan on beginning to research places to live soon to make the transition go as easily as possible.
I am definitely getting eager for the time to come!
