:) The best thing you could do is NOT try to hear what everything sounds like..or looks like from a cartoon standpoint...get in the field gal!!! As a Nursing student you rate as a qualified tech at most hospitals...go !!! apply today!!! part time -- prn...who cares ? as long as you get the exposure you seek...know what a foley looks like before studying up on it...see a heart cath performed ...rather than a cartoon illustration...get hired..and be vocal...tell them you WANT to see it all...few medical people turn down an extra pair of helping hands...esp eager ones!!! the more you see the better and more confident you will feel at clinicals...best of luck...and use this site...it helps!!!

Good luck!

PS heart cath is a great idea, but even cooler is open heart surgery!
