And then there were none...

I finished my hospital clinicals of nursing 1 today! What a feeling! (...keep believin'...sounds a little like Flashdance) We're off next week for Thanksgiving and then the week after that, I rotate to watch an EKG monitor for an hour and a half and then to a post-op care unit at a surgery center.

Today was a good day! I checked off on my handwashing requirement (I would hope so, by now...) and also my SQ injection. I didn't do another SQ, but she still checked me off b/c I did one a few weeks ago and wasn't going to get a chance for another one. Bummer.

I have been trying for several clinical days to get her pinned down and talk to me about anemia and reading labs so that I can determine the type of anemia a pt has. Every time, she's run out of time because of other clinical group members. Well, today, maybe b/c she got sick of me asking, maybe because she felt like she had time or maybe b/c this was my last clinical day with her, she took time. She sat down with Leslie and me and talked about EKGs and then about my anemia labs. It was a really good learning time. I just wish we had more of them.
