We Have Contact

Yes! I did my first IV in the hospital today! Yah! I'm so much more of a nurse today than I've ever been. :D

I was in the ER today. It was almost boring actually. I spent a large chunk of time cleaning up a patient who had a case of diarrhea. I also unsuccessfully attempted to insert a foley catheter on a female client twice. But I don't feel too bad about it because the nurse tried it after me and even she couldn't get it. There was a cute baby in the ER too, but don't worry, it was his mom that was being treated: post-partum depression. That's right Tom, it really happens. sigh...

Well, I have a quiz to take sometime tonight I think... I'm waiting for a call because we're supposed to do it pairs. Then I have an online exam tomorrow. I just have to concentrate on breathing and I'll be ok.... (I stress way too much about this stuff... I need to remember that nursing is fun and life-giving, not cold and exacting like our tests which try to suck the very life from our bones... Ok, I'm getting way too goofy and this parentheses is starting to get stretch-marks. Bye.)
