The rest of clinicals...

SOOOOOO, I am done now with clinicals as of April 10th and I am so grateful for the opportunity to work with an amazing nurse. I had gotten up to taking care of 3 patients and boy, everything flies by if you don't watch the time! It made me really really really want to be an RN and not a SN anymore. However, I still have so much to learn.

My favorite patient had to be 'Wild Bill' and his family. He and his family were so nice. He found out I am interested in Vietnam, and with him being a Vietnam vet, he talked to me for a while about his experiences. And they were intense.

Another favorite patient of mine had a name that was after a Greek myth and he had bilateral above-the-knee amputations. He was very quiet but when you got him talking, his stories were incredible. He loved talking about his 5 kids.

As of right now, I am just waiting for the days to pass by until Graduation. I am so thrilled my mom, grandma, sister and brother-in-law are coming and just thinking about it brings tears to my eyes! So many people have shown what love is supposed to be and that has been crucial for me these past 10 months. May 8/9 get here please!!!
