YEAH I just made it through my first 8 hour clinical!!! I thought it was a fun but exhausting day! I had one full time patient and I was her "nurse" from 8-4 today! I got to give my first injection (Lovenox) and 3 p.o. meds. It was so cool, I also helped out with a lady whom had a staph infection on her spine. That was interesting to see what all she is going through. Anyways I just wanted to let you all know I SURVIVED!!! :smokin:

It's so good to read a good experience instead of a "why are floor nurses so mean to students" thread. :)

Congrats! It is good to hear about a good experience. I had my first clinical last week and like you gave my first injection and passed my first meds. I also got to do a dressing.

Best of luck in the rest of your clinicals. :D

Yeay! This is the stuff I want to read! As a pre-nursing student, it's very refreshing to see something positive in here. To echo what Tweety said - WooHoo all clinicals aren't scary! Thank you!
