I got to see my first real birth yesterday!! It was so incredible to see and of course, I was in tears after the beautiful 9lb baby boy popped out of mom. I was told by the RN's that it was NOT a normal delivery in that it was really easy and quick. She was only in labor for about 6 hours and only pushed for about 5-10 minutes before the birth. It was a really interesting thing to see, especially since I don't have children of my own yet. Now I REALLY want to have a baby. Working around all the newborns is great, even though I would never want to work as a nurse in L & D. I have also seen some circumcisions and I'm looking forward to the first Foley I get to put in.
So far, this semester is starting out great!
How is everyone else enjoying their clinicals so far?
