Well, that's about the most realistic post I've read. School at every level is a bunch of _ _ _ _. But it gives us a change and gets us to our goal. When you finish you will be specifically trained and prepared to perform. You'll most likely love your first job because you will reflect on this bad clinical and be glad that you don't have to work in an environment like that. Good luck, I wish you a temporary haze that will lift when it is all over.

The easiest way to shadow is to go to OR with your patient. Occasionally I only have one patient (usually two) in ICU. If my patient is going to surgery I go with them. I ask questions while in surgery. I talk to the surgeon as well as the anesthetist. I have gained a lot of information this way.
