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!!!

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.
