I got to do lots last week. It was my last week on the floor for the semester. They were going to let me start an IV but we ran out of time. I did though get to totally redo a pump with new fluids and hang two IV antibiotics piggy back. It was complicated so I got the gist of it but will probably not remember totally for next time. LOL.
Congrats! As a student myself I love hearing about fellow student's successes. I was able to insert my first foley during my OB rotation and nailed the first one as well, but actually bombed the second! (I stood on the wrong side of the bed and contaminated ). Looking forward to saving myself on my next try! :)
As for my good news? I found out the other day that I PASSED PEDS!!! That was the last class of my specialties rotation and now I'm officially on summer break! So happy I could squeal!
CONGRATS!!
I took my last lecture exam for the semester for A & P 1 and I got an A, which gave me a pass on the Final Exam!! My first semester back in college since 1984, and I got an A in both my classes, woohoo!! Not bad for an old lady, lol.
Three weeks off and then A & P II this summer!
Awesome post, nice to read happy news!

I'm just so excited and happy still that I had to share! I put in my first foley today. A female foley at that. And nailed it on the first try!
While I was in the ICU today (with the best pair of nurses I've worked with yet) I got a great lesson in reading ECG strips, admissions, piggyback IVs and a whole host of other exciting things I can't tell anyone. (don't want the HIPPA to squash me.)
What did you do today that made you happy?
