Uh-May-Zing!!
This week we were in the hospital. I love clinical days! It's overwhelming, but completely amazing to be in the hospital working with real medical staff and real patients. I was able to spend time in a critical care unit working with 3 patients between 2 nurses. It's funny how the basics we all rolled our eyes at when learning come back into play when working on the floor. I guess the real moral of the story was the most trivial task, making a bed or combing hair, is never too little to the patient. Even if they fight you the whole way, they really appreciate the time that was spent making them more comfortable.
Have I mentioned lately how much I love this? Let me remind you just in case, I love, love, love the field I am going into. I love being able to have flexibility both in time and in path. I have yet to meet a nurse that hates their job. Of course, I can do without the weeks of 3 tests piled on top of each other, but I'm willing to do whatever it takes to get to the finish line... with a smile on my face... hopefully.
What didn't work this week? Running. Today was the first day I was able to lace up my shoes and go for a run. I hate that, but it is what it is. Laundry. The boys were out of shorts today. Don't get me wrong, they still have pants. I'm not going to send them to school in their under-roos, which are clean in case you were wondering, and I know you were. Dinner planning and grocery shopping. There wasn't any, period. This week was a lot of asking the kids what they wanted for dinner and giving it to them. Luckily, we have some pretty good decision makers. They chose things like lasagna and salad. We were just lacking in time between school, after school activities, financial classes, and trying to squeeze in time for studying. Oh well! I guess there is always some push pull in life.
Another reason this week was pretty amazing, no trips to the ER with my lovely, clumsy children!
