On a happy note. I am finished with my long term care clinical and will start in acute care three weeks from today. We will be at a nice facility and hopefully have nice nurses showing us the ropes. Of course, I heard for the first time last semester that nurses eat their young. EEEKK! I hope that is not what I encounter in my clinical experience. I do have a great instructor though, so that makes it a pretty awesome experience.

I almost forgot, I got to help dress a wound today. It was a nasty bugger. I was sort of happy that I did not have to take the old dressing, etc off and clean it, but I was all good wrapping that bad boy up and assisting with the cleaning process. My other classmate got the privilege of cleaning the wound. Pretty sweet I tell ya. Our instructor seizes every opportunity for us which is more than I can say for a lot of other instructors!
