LOOONG WEEK!

Wow! So I did not do well at keeping up last week was so busy and here is why....

Monday- I had a Pathophysiology test and a Healthy Aging Quiz
Tuesday- I had a Fundamentals test and a double header in softball
Wednesday- Pharmacology practicum and then chart review for first day of clinicals at the hospital and women's softball game
Thursday-1st day of clinicals! I also had Celebration at 7
Friday- 2nd day of clinicals ALL day

So it may not sound like a lot to you guys but I was sooo exhausted and felt like I couldn't keep up.

About my clinicals...I got to scrub in on two procedures! Oh and I got to ride in an ambulance...and I wasnt the patient! The first procedure was a gallbladder removal and the second was a colonoscopy. I am going to do a little patient teaching here for a second... When you go in for your colonoscopy...MAKE SURE you follow doctors orders the night before and take the laxatives you are supposed to. That's all I have to say about that.

After the long first part of the week with all the tests I was able to go into the hospital for my clinicals, and it made it all worth it. Everything seems to finally be coming together and starting to make sense.

I also did race for the cure this weekend...5k run. It was really fun and there were a lot of people out there. It's great to see that many people come out for such a great cause.
