It's Baaaaaaaaaack!

Today was the second day of my Medical/Surgical Nursing rotation. We start on a medical floor and move to a surgical floor in about 5 weeks. This is supposed to be the worst part of our program because it is such a long rotation and we have to do about six or more hours of preparation the night before we have to be at the hospital at 7am. The group of student I'm with is really great though, and the nurses on the floor seem very nice (...cuz I'm sorta more used to this).

I was a little scared today because it had been so long since I had done an assessment on an adult who hadn't just given birth (during my last three rotations I've worked with crazy/disobedient teens, sick kids and moms and babies). LUCKY for me I got a fairly young patient today with a peptic ulcer who was completely independent, and the only tubes coming out of him were just a couple of little ol' IV's (no booty or weeny tubes).

Just FOUR months and I'll be done with nursing school!!!
