You can't have clinical if there aren't any patients.

We got to the hospital this morning for clinical only to be sent back to school because there weren't enough patients in the hospital. To be exact, there was 1 baby in the nursery, 3 women on post-partum, 3 kids on Peds, but one was being sent home and 1 lady in labor. There are 31 students there to do clinical--you do the math.
We ended up watching videos all day. Some were good, some were...not so good.
When I got home, Dave and I went to the polls to vote. There was no line in our little teeny tiny voting precinct, so it took all of 5 minutes start to finish.

This evening, Dave has been watching the election results and getting more and more concerned as the night goes on, and I've been putting a puzzle together. I've listened out of one ear, but am choosing not to get stressed out tonight. I cast my vote--that's all I can do.

1. Gas is $1.98. I didn't think I'd ever see that again!
2. I've thought a lot tonight about how things will change over the next four years. Even so, come quickly, Lord Jesus.
3. Did you know that Pepto-Bismol contains aspirin? I didn't. Did you know that children under 19 years old (yes, 19), should not take aspirin or products containing aspirin? The general consensus in class--we were all given "the pink stuff" as kids.

That's all for tonight. I have to get my scrubs into the dryer and get some sleep--I'm beat.

Stay tuned...

that's way interesting about the pepto. my parents totally tried to assassinate me with it. also, remind me to tell you sometime about when they thought it was a great idea to wrap a kid with a 102+ fever in three wool blankets. let's just say, that night ended in trip to the emergency room.
