My first clinical is Thursday. We're in long term care. Since the only skills we've been tested on has been hand washing, I'm expecting to do a lot of interviewing and bed-making. I've been practicing making beds all week (the CNA's in my nursing lab were giving me a hard time since I can get A's on the tests and quizzes but can't make a bed). My family is shocked, since we are such a busy family beds generally just don't get made, lol.

I'm soooooo excited! I have to be at the hospital and ready to go at 6:15 tomorrow. I have my dream assignment of oncology, but we'll mostly just be orienting and doing vitals tomorrow. This is the stuff I went to nursing school for, and the last 3 weeks have been hard to get through. So, I'm glad to finally have a day where I can just soak it all in and experience real nursing (not me, but the nurse I'll be shadowing). Anyone else getting ready for clinicals.
