Saturday-best clinical day YET!!!!
Clinicals has totally been superultracool. I have had so much hands-on its blowing me totally away. On saturday i had the best nurse yet. She was overly receptive and walked me through everything single thing she did, now how cool is that?I shadowed her to all her patients. She let me insert a suppository in my assigned pt. At first i was a tad shaken like wondering how it would go and how far i should insert into the rectal but she explained it step by step and this boosted my self-confidence. I got the suppository and the KY Jelly, washed my hands, gloved up. Helped my pt into the sims position as comfortably as i could. Put the KY jelly in the tiny cup-container, broke the suppository seal and took it out, lubed the tip then holding the rectal hole open with my left hand i inserted the suppository until i felt the sphincter then pushed it in and woohoo i had done it! it felt like the beginning of a journey after what had seemed like waiting forever. I also got to gown up and go into a MASA pt's room. He had MASA in his blood. I watched my nurse insert an IV, i learned a whole bunch in there too, the pt was really cool and totally receptive. She also showed me how to chart a pt's info. Saturday was the bomb and then some, i totally balled through the hours. She also showed me how to use the pyxis system and when to have another nurse present as witness especially when taking out insulin or dispensing narcotics.
My L.I. gave me a ride home saturday night so i was home and in bed early. On sunday i woke up at 9:30-ish am and got ready to go to the library. I was in the library from1pm to 5pm writing up my care plan and process recording. I finished my care plan and sent it to the L.I for corrections and got almost half way done with the P.R. I just got the care plan back from the L.I. I gotta make some few corrections here and there and re-send it. I so want to get an A in both papers to up my grade. I'm at a B right now, not good :(
I also need to finish reading my ATI book. My final's on this saturday, kinda looking forward to it. I just want to be done and over with it.
Tonight is last night of lecture. Woohoo! Let the class end already :) It's going to be an excitingly hectic week that i can tell for sure. I pray and hope to finish my care plan corrections and P.R. papers by end of today and start reading for the final like now. Hopefully tonight the prof will give the exam's review, just hopefully... I got 2 days more of clinicals, yaay! Wednesday and Thursday. I hope to learn some more. I'm so loving this and keeping an open mind so help me God.
I got some hours on Friday night, twas crazy that's all am saying. He was BANANAS!!! My personal B.S./Q.T. this morning was about the truth setting me free,it's all coming down to self-control. I sure am praying and hoping for more of that God help me.
Okie gotta go now. I will be back soon...
GO ME!!!
