My First Day of Clinical
February 18th, 2008 by TracyWas today. It was really good! I think I am going to enjoy this semester’s clinical time much more than I did last semester. We are actually going to be doing more patient cares and putting the skills we have been learning into practice.
I got to feed a patient today, do an assessment on another patient, and then we prepared for out patient next week. It was an awesome feeling. I felt accomplished today when I left.
Kind of nice to start putting it all together.
After clinical I got to go to my favorite class….adult. Riiiiiiiight, I freakin’ hate the class! The teacher is the biggest joke. I could teach the class better than she is. When we ask her questions, she cannot answer them or she just talks in circles. We have a test on Wednesday and no one in the class has any clue how/what we are supposed to study. Did I mention that she had NO idea that sickle cell is a genetic “mutation” if you will that protects a person from malaria. Yeah, she didn’t know. Every one of us looked around in shock and disbelief. I think I learned that when I was 5. Not really but, DUH!!

Me too! I think it will be an actual learning experience this semester! I think I’m really going to love my instructor. She is very structured
