Yes, they still make beepers, and now I have one.

So they gave us beepers today at orientation. I thought that was pretty awesome, until I realised that now I'll be just a touch-tone away from the hospital 24/7. Realistically I doubt they would ever really page any of us except maybe within the hospital (the place is huge).

Aside from that we went on tours around the hospital, got our pictures taken for ID badges and the cool swipe cards to get into the library and such. We got a brief introduction from all of the department heads, we got fed very well too. I have to admit, I was impressed with how we were treated as students, hats off to NUMC.
