Onika POV
"Girl we good, were not going to get caught, I do this all the time." I mimicked Lauren as we were walking into the main entrance of the hospital.
Lauren snapped back. "Bitch I do not sound like that!"
"Yea whatever could have fooled me!" I rolled my eyes.
"I still don't understand how she knew we were there, and why didn't she say something if she knew we were watching."
I sighed. "I feel like I'm already starting off on the wrong foot with her. Now I'll never get into the OR with her."
"Nicki RELAX. It's our first week were not supposed to be in the OR yet anyway. Remember were baby fishes they the sharks, and this is their tank."
"I guess your right."
Lauren and I walked into the locker room, where everyone was putting their white coats and grabbing necessary supplies to survive the long day ahead.
Dr. Lawson walked in the locker room with her clipboard. "Miss. Almanzar you'll be shadowing Dr. Williams today she has two surgeries back-to-back and requested your presence."
"THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING BOUT. MY SECOND DAY AND IM ALREADY IN THE OR. BYE LOSERS!" Cardi got up running out the locker room.
Dr. Lawson rolled her eyes and proceeded back to her clipboard. "Mr. Jordan you will be shadowing Dr. Rowland she has a total knee replacement at 1300, you can go to the pit until she's ready for you."
"Thank you, Dr. Lawson." He smiled.
"Miss. Kordei you will be with Dr. Solo today she's doing an anterior cervical discectomy."
"That's so cool, I always wanted to see one! Thank you, Dr. Lawson." Normani beamed.
"Miss London unfortunately you're with me. We're going to be doing a colectomy and spleen removal let's go." Dr. Lawson said turning to walk out.
What the hell did she forget me?
"Wait Dr. Lawson. What about me?" I asked.
"Oh... Ms. Maraj Dr. Knowles requested you in the study hall on the first floor. You're going to be doing lab hours."
"WHAT? How come everyone gets to shadow their surgeons and I have to go to study hall?"
"Child take it up with God not me. Ms. London move your feet let's go." Lauren gave me a sympathetic look and left out the locker rooms.
"You got to be kidding me." I said, stomping my way down the stairs. When I made it to the study hall a white lady in her mid 50's stood by a desk.
"You must be Ms. Maraj. I'm Carol the director of new-grad transitioning. Dr. Knowles specifically said to give you these study materials." She said pointing at a bunch of books piled on her desk that looked like a collection of Harry Potter books.
"No mam, I think you're mistaken. I'm supposed to be shadowing her surgeries. Not going back to med-school."
"Well, I'm sorry dear her instructions were very clear. You must do eight hours of study each day, and then you go to the pit and complete head to toe assessments, write six reports and turn it into her before your shift ends." Carol weakly smiled, handing me a piece of paper with some writing. This heifer really wrote out some bogus as instructions under a '5-week plan'.
"I'm not doing this shit for five weeks." She got me messed up.
"I'm sorry dear what was that?" Carol smiled. She heard exactly what I said.
