Chapter two

Trevon grabbed one of the empty chairs and sat down taking out a storage clipboard and other supplies. “ So who am I assigned to?” Trevon asked as soon as he finished unpacking. “Room assignments are not actually going to change often. They stay the same unless we have a call off or we get an extra worker. For the past month or two it's just been me and Matt but now that you are here we will put you in for some rooms. Matt will take you around and show you where everything is. By the time you guys get back i will have your assignment done”  Omar explained

  “ok Sir off we go into the wild blue yonder” Matt said as he held the station door open Tre walked under his arm and into the hallway. Matt followed and began leading him down the hall to the different departments' offices and rooms. They came around the corner and found tam picking up scattered papers from files off the floor with tears in her eyes. “ omg Tamerra are you ok!?” Trevon blurted out and he and Matt rushed over to help her. “*sniffle* oh yeah guys im ok you know just had a run in with DR. Bradmond. The lad results had not come back yet on a few PT and he asked if i was  competent enough to bring home completed files or and i just old and incompetent *sniffle* I tried telling him I checked in with the lab and the results were not ready even though he asked for the files. He got mad and knocked the files out of my hand onto the floor” they all stood up with papers in their hands “ yeah when you are as big a guy as him but your Dick is the size of a toddler's pinky finger you tend to lash out at others easily.” matt said with a sarcastic smile. Tamerra giggled “ thanks Matt I needed that”. They went to the nearest empty meeting room to go through the papers and organize them so she could take them back to the nurse station. Trevon  looked through the papers in his pile and became confused. There were so many different forms and charts and they all had different names and numbers on them. He looked up at Tamme with a confused puppy dog face seeking guidance. “ DUDE THAT IS JUST NOT FAIR WHY ARE YOU HOT AND CUTE!” Matt pouted. Tamerra smiled with the tender smile of a mother. “ It's ok I will show you how to organize them .”  She took the papers and laid them out on the table. “ So each Patient is going to have a MRN or Medical Record Number. This number is unique to every patient and stays the same in the system no matter how many times they come and go. The Patient file is made up of a few different sections. But the Sections you need to worry about are Face Sheet, Lab Results, Care Plan, and  Physicians Orders. Nurses and CNAs are going to mainly be in those  sections''. After listening to her explanation on how the files are organized Trevon was able to make Quick work of his task. When he was finished he smiled at the work he completed. He raised his head and looked over at the other two who had already finished their piles and put them back together. “ Sorry cutie pie your gonna have to be faster than that.'' Matt mocked him leaning back in his chair with his feet on the table. Tamerra put her hand on the back of his seat and pulled causing Matt to flip backwards out of the chair. “ Actually you made good time with this bing you  first day handling medical files. I’m proud of you you did an awesome Job” She came around the corner and picked up hsi sorted papers. OK guys i gotta get these charts to the Nurses station” Trevon watched Tamerra walk out the room and turned back to see Matt still on the floor with his PHone scrolling. “Soooooo are we gonna get back to the tour or go back to the station.” Trevon asked with a curiously raised eyebrow. “ Look at you…..Studious and cute you just keep getting better and better as the shift goes on” Matt said smiling as he got up from the floor and put his arm around trayvon's shoulder and led him out of the room into the hallway. SO i'm gonna show you where we put the medical supplies and other equipment. He took Tre down the hall  to the Medical equipment closet. He pulled his badge away from his shirt and held it up to the reader. The reader beeped and you could hear the locking mechanism on the door disengage. Matt pulled the door open and held it while Tre walked through. With the door closed all you could hear was the humming buzz of the Sterile fluorescent lights illuminating  the room with such a white intensity they wasn't a single shadow in the room. “ So against this wall is going to be tuning for oxygen, suction, catheters, and other things. This area here” He said pointing to another shelf. “ is where you will find needles, blood testing vacuettes, normal saline solution bags; gauze, wound wash, bandages, and other wound care items. THose shelves we won't touch too often. But these! “ He gestured to the shelf on the other sid of the room” These are going to be your bread and butter as a CNA! You have all your hygiene and toiletry supplies. Wash basins hats for clean catches. Sterile kits for foley catheters and a few other essentials like stethoscope and manual blood pressure cuffs and isolation equipment are all gonna be found here.” Matt exclaimed as he sat his hand on the Box nearest to him. “So you got all that?” he asked sincerely. Trevon smiled “ yup i think i got it, thanks a lot dude”. Matt gave a cheesy and  wide smile as he led them back to the CNA Station. Tre started thinking about the different people he had met while walking Back to the Station. Tamerra seemed like a kind and sweet person, easy to talk to like an older sibling. Omar was an outspoken and welcoming person. THe kind Of person who would invite a stranger over for dinner without a second thought. Matt seems like the kind of person that would be on a first name basis with the entire HR department, with all the flirting the guy does it was hard for him to get a read on the guy. Bet There was one person he had heard of but never wanted to meet, and that was DR.Breadmond! He couldn't believe how he talked to Temerra that way and then to purposely knock all the files out of her hand. He can't be getting away with things like that and he is sure she wasn't his first. Trevon was pulled out of his thoughts by the sound of Omar welcoming them back to the Station. “ So how was the tour?” Omar asked from his seat. The other two came in and sat with him “ It was informative and a bit distressing  to say the least” Tre replied. Omar formed slightly “distressing how” he asked. Matt sighed “ we ran into Tam after she had just suffered the wrath of Breadmond. He knocked the files she was carrying onto the floor cause he has a small dick!” Omar chucked a little then turned to see Trevons confirmed eyes. “ Don't worry about that guy…yes he works in the ED but his specialties are  infection and exotic diseases. So more likely than not you won't be seeing much of him anyway. The two doctors you will mainly run into are going to be Dr.Brass and Dr.McVell they are the ones that run the ED.” Omars explanation made Trevon a little less nervous. OK so Back on track we need to get you a badge and get you set up on the electronic charting system before you can hit the floor to shadow one of us. So I know you just sat down….. But I need you to come with me to see the charge nurse so we can  get those two things fixed asap.” Omar hopped out of his chair “ let's go see the Big boss himself” omar lead Treavon back  to the nurses station. There were over 20 nurses conversing with one another, some laughing and smiling while others looked like they crawled from the depths of despair and disappointment. It was shift change time so nurses were giving and receiving report on their patients. Trevon Stopped outside the desk and watched as Omar walked up to a gentleman with salt and pepper beard and hair and began talking to him. Trevon tried reading their lips but couldn't figure out what they were saying . He was never any good at eavesdropping or reading lips. No matter how much he practices he never got better at it and assumed it was for the best, some things you are just better off not knowing. Omar Waved him over and introduced him to the charge Nurse. Hey Trevon this is David he is the  Charge Nurse for the Shifts we work. David was a relatively handsome man his hair was a deep brown with gray streaks in it showing he was older then most of the people on the floor. He had a full beard and mustache that hid his lips. He was about the same height   as Omar. He wore glasses but his hazel brown eyes were visible, but they looked uninterested at the task set before him.” Hi Trevon,  LIke Omar said my name is David and I’m the charge nurse for the unit for the Tuesday -Thursday overnight shift. He just told me that you need an ID badge and a charting log in so you can actually do your Job.” Trevon Smirked and chuckled slightly at the statement but David's face remained unchanged. Trevon stopped smirking and cleared his throat. “Thank you so much.” Trervon was uneasy around David in the sense of the fact he was not able to read what he was thinking. Trevon is a happy go lucky and goofy guy. He gauges his behavior based on how he sees people's facial reactions to his words and actions. That way he knows who he can joke with and who not to, and David fell into the latter category. Trevon walked back to the nurses station with his right hand in his pocket and his left hand on the back of his neck thinking about the awful first impression he just made with his supervisor. “ Is David anything like Dr.Breadmond?” Trevon asked as he walked into the station with a big sigh. Omar laughed “Don't worry dude he is nothing like that dick hole! David is a bit standoffish but he is a good boss. He listens to us when we have concerns regarding the patient and makes sure the doctors stay off our asses.” 

 Trevon saw his name on the white board with room numbers next to it “ oh sweet i got my assignments” Trevon grabbed the  small note pad he had on his desk along with a pin and quickly began scribbling down the room numbers he was assigned. He put the pin away in the shirt pocket of his scrubs and went to start his rounds on his patients. He walked into the first room he was assigned and foamed his hands  at the doorway. Trevon Knocked before entering” HI Mrs.Davenport, my name is Trevon im g……..” he stopped mid sentence as he realized the patient was fast asleep. He took a quick look at her chart and saw she JUst had her gallbladder removed so she was still under the anesthetic. Trrevon took out his pen and pad and began writing down the patient's vital information. While he was writing the pen slipped out of his hand and rolled under the bed. Trevon sighed heavily “Just great now I have to get dirty”. He crouched on all fours to see under the bed. The peh was under the middle of the bed. I could just unlock the wheels and move the bed. But that might wake up the patient and then they will be in pain and I don't want to do that. He pondered the thought a little longer and decided not to move the bed he crouched down and laid his chest on the floor arching his back while at the same time spreading his knees as far as he could. “Well at least all those yoga classes at the gym are finally paying off” he thought to himself. He grabbed his pen and stood up, immediately he felt something was wrong! All the hair on his body was standing up on end and he felt the temperature in the room plummet to what felt like a frozen tundra in antartica. Everything in his body told him he was in danger and that  he needed to run first and ask questions later. Ignoring every signal his body and his ancestors were giving him and turned around. IN the doorway he saw two massive figures eclipsing the entire doorway with their forms. Lookin at them made Trevon want to shrink into a corner like a puppy with his ears down and tail between his legs. “ Ca…Can I help you “ Trevon said with apprehension and fear that was palpable in the trembling of his voice.
