My first day of Clinicals

[Mini-Murse]

So today was my very first day ever of clinicals. We were paired with a partner just for today, as opposed to going at it alone.

Was a real eye-opener - so many practices that we are taught in class that aren't used in the hospital - even our instructor told us "we teach one thing in class, but you need to practice another in the hospital," which kind of made me angry..

Our pt was a LOL, A&Ox3, was the nicest, kindest LOL you could ever meet. Every pill she took, "Down the hatch!" with a little smile.

The only problem was that she was contact for hx of MRSA, but that wasnt that bad to deal with.

Two weeks till we go back (doing LTC and simlab next week), and I can't ******* wait.
