We did not get to venture out to the surrounding area much during the first week in Florida. Usually during the first week of an assignment you are doing orientation stuff. I ended up being at the hospital 4 days that week. So between that and unpacking stuff we didn't venture out much. As I said in my previous post, the hospital is small; 4 inpatient floors, 9 or 10 bed ICU/CCU, 23 + bed ER. It is in a "co-op" (as I call it) with an in patient pysch facility; all owned by same company ( I assume). So we get a lot of psych for medical clearance (oh joy!). Sadly a lot are children; would love to throttle some of the parents (but that is a different soap box discussion). I really like the staff. On the most part they are all very friendly and treat me like part of the family. We really like the area and I have already signed a contract extension until April.
Our first outing was to Pompano Beach which is a short 15-20 min drive (depending on traffic).

Just to prove we really are at the beach! |

This is a shot of the beautiful walkway that runs along the beach. Very nice
and lots of clean bath houses, nice picnic shelters and a nice kiddie
play area.

And naturally we had to try out a ice cream joint!
Black Cherry....yum :)

It was a nice little afternoon in the sun. We will be back for many more before we leave!
More fun in the sun to come.....
