I wore an adult diaper...

I am SOOOOOOOOOO tired! I was up this morning at 4:45AM...did you get that....AM! The sun wasn't even awake yet! Oh well. I did get up and out the door in time to drive to school and be there by 7am.
Today's lab covered urinary and bowel elimination. We covered catheters, briefs, and some care plan stuff. Then we watched a video on the HIPAA laws and another on elder abuse. I'm appalled that we even had to watch a video on elder abuse--it is just unthinkable what some people will do to our elderly--what a shame!
Overall, today was a good day. I left school and got part 2 of my TB skin test. I'm happy to report that I do not have TB. I go back on Thursday and will be finished with all my clinical requirements (and can't wait until that's done!).
Tomorrow's lab is Mobility which includes feeding and moving patients and range of motion exercises. Kinda cool.
I'm liking my lab instructor more and more. She's tough, but she's thorough and she's convinced me that she really does have our best interest at heart and is out to teach us every little thing she can. After I'm out of Nursing 1, I hope I can get to know her better and can see a different side of her.
David H. - I wish you the best day tomorrow as you begin this journey I began a few weeks ago. Life as you know it will not be the same--but this is do-able. We are going to do this! When we're on the other side, our families will have to get together to celebrate!!
Going to bed now so I can get another early start tomorrow. 4:45AM comes early!
Good night, sweet dreams!
