Like I promised Connie and Giselle, I would blog about tonight. Giselle, Connie and I met up at the Cheesecake Factory in Santa Anita mall. We had fun catching up and just being retarded. Then we went to take sticker pictures. It was a very high school-like night. Our pictures didn't exactly turn out the way we wanted them to, and we got screwed over with our second set. It was fun to see familiar faces and have it be the way it used to be.

When I got home, I had a lot of responsibilities to do since my parents are out of town for a couple weeks. It's kind of nice to have the apartment to myself, even for a couple weekends. I'm going to party it up! Studying for pharmacology and Med-Surg, yeah!

Today was my first 12 hour clinical, finally. Janet, my clinical instructor, is awesome! She makes you feel relaxed and comfortable. At first, I was really annoyed that I got the patient that I did because he had an NG tube and diarrhea. It sucked having to clean up five bowel movements, but the rest of the day was pretty great. I got to give med via NG tube, hang an IV piggyback, give a Lovenox shot (I just like giving shots), put in a Foley catheter, and watch a wound packing. I really want to pack a wound. I love guts and gore. I'm exhausted.
