But FREEDOMMMMM! I haven't had a Tuesday off in a really long time. I got to sleep in late (which I typically do one day a week now). I've decided that it doesn't matter how long I get to sleep if it is the wrong hours. Eight hours of sleep from 10pm to 6am is not as effective to me as eight hours from 2 am to 10am. Night nurse, here I come.
Yesterday's clinical was a 12 hour day. I love those days because I feel so much more in control. I ran my little legs off yesterday. I think it is amazing that I have gotten to my last semester of school and am just now having patients with diseases or equipment that I learned about in my second semester. I got to take out staples yesterday! The patient's family asked if it was my first time to do this (I think my instructor, the hospital RN and 3 other students standing around gave it away). I told her it wasn't, but didn't go on to explain that the only other time I'd taken A STAPLE out was in my first semester and the teacher had put enough stitches and staples into a doll to let each of us take out ONE! I don't think it would instill much confidence if I told her, nope, but just taken out one before--from something that can't feel a thing! Oh, good times.
Still no more word on the job front. Maybe later this week. You'll know when I know.
This weekend, my church ladies group is going to Pensacola to the Extraordinary Women conference, I'm really excited about it. I've heard its great! I'll bring back a report on it too!
Okay, really need a shower now. Bed head hit hard last night!
Stay tuned...

How does one "staple" skin? I've always wondered.
I thought you were referring to all the staples you pulled out when you helped me with the bulletin boards at school.
