I set the alarm, double-checked it, and I never heard it go off this morning. When I opened my eyes, I thought, "hmmm, it's awfully light outside". Then I looked at the clock--it was 7! My clinicals start at 7! Fortunately I live fairly close to the hospital and I made it there by 7:30. Our group was still having preconference, so I didn't miss out on any patient care. I apologized to my instructor and told her what happened--what else could I do? She didn't really say anything about it, so I don't know what she thinks. I know that some of the other clinical instructors are very strict about being on time. I NEVER EVER OVERSLEEP. EVER. And I am ALWAYS on time, if not early, so this has me really freaked out. It's thrown off my whole day. I even forgot to ask my pt about a bath--you know, the most obvious thing in the world. She wanted to get dressed right away and I never thought to mention it. Stupid, stupid me. Hope everyone else had a good day.
