These past couple of weeks have been hectic. The instructors have been trying to cramp everything we need to know into just a couple of weeks and between school, clinical, and work it was has been a crazy couple of weeks. But I only need to get through the next couple of days and then i am home free. Here are a couple things I have been up to. 1) I experienced my first patient death. It was sad and horrible but yet such an amazing experience. We saw the signs and syptoms of death and did our best to keep her as comfortable as possible. 2) I gave my first IM and S/cut injections! It was so cool. It was crazy how easy it was. I was nervous the first time but my clinical instructor told me 'I don't know why students are so nervous about givinf injections, if heronine addicts can inject themselves so can you" 3) We used the robot to stimulate situations that might occur in the hospital. The technology of this robot is unbelievable. This robot could talk to us and respond to questions and can even give birth! Weird! 4) I got a transfer to SOF in St.Albert because I am going to come home for the summer. I am kind of excited about coming home and seeing everyone but I think I am going to miss my friends down here. Most of them are from school or work and I am going to be sad about leaving them! But I will be back soon. 5) When I get come back to lethbridge I am going to have to find a new place to live because my landlord is going to sell my house. :-( boo. So that is pretty much my life right now. Not super exciting but super busy!
