Clinicals day 3

I'm getting ready for my day 3 clinicals. Monday I went to a big hospital in a nearby town. I was shawdowing an RN in interventerional radiology. It was mch more interesting than I expected!

Only an RN can work in I.R., or a tech. The techs are very intelligent and do a lot of work, they get to scrub in with the radiologist. It's kind of close to surgery so we had to all stay sterile and it was super neat. All that was done was a fistula gram. Just pictures of a fistula and attempt to clear out blood clots and a stent was added. It took approx. 2 hours! Conscious sedation was used which was pretty neat! That's just making the patient really sleepy and comfy but also alert so that if you say their name they respond.

Today I'm going to another hospital, it's not as big. I'm not sure what floor I'll be on but I'm kinda excited. Hoping it's a good one and get to see a lot of interesting things.

Tomorrow I'll go to a nursing home, not near as exciting as the hospitals, in April I'm in the nursing home almost all month. I do not look forward to that. I already "basically" work at a nursing home. (I work at a small hospital).

Working out has not gone well at all, but my mother in law has been staying here a few days so I didn't want to leave to the gym and leave her here by herself so today I'll get back on trying to start a routine. Ugh I jus feel do ridiculous.

I'm going to start selling and drinking body by vi soon! Hoping that will make a difference! It's made a big difference in my friend and I'm going to at least try it out.

Has anyone tried body by vi? How did it go??

If you were to be in nursing or health care what would you be and where Would you like to work?-I'm wanting to become an RN, possibly PA, and work in the ER.

  1. Wait....you got to see an actual surgery? I'm jealous!

    I might have to get some Body by Vi from you.. but I don't think I can do the full plan. Maybe just sub a few meals I'm not really in the mood for. I usually don't feel like lunch after working out I just need to eat or I'll be sick.
