i had my first Flu Clinic yesterday! it was awesome. i love stabbing people with needles!! and im so proud of myself, my instructor made everyone check out my kick ass technique. i've got some steady hands.
My clinical group went to 2 churches to give the shots. and a ton of old people showed up. i didnt really do anything difficult, but i was exhausted after everything. maybe it was the dreary rain and long car rides. actually, i loved the weather, it must have been b/c the car ride. after i got home, i hopped on the train to see Alex so she could do a makeup test run. she made me look redonk/awesome. im so pumped for my party!
I was at the hospital today. my patient today was almost 80 and a complete rag doll. she spurted jibberish the entire day, and was limp as a sac of potatoes. i watched her nurse change her abdominal wound dressing. that shit was deep and open. freaky. and i helped change her colostomy bag. aka her SHIT BAG. it stank pretty foul. but seeing her ostomy was awesome and gross.
her wound looked a little like this. the chick in this pic is holding a colostomy bag.
when my patient passed out, i went to help another student make an obese man's bed while he was in it. poor guy had hip surgery and we kept hurting him. he was super sweet.
last week my patient had MRSA. i had to put on a gown before going into his room. he was pretty chill though. he had a bunch of bandages on his abdomen and a J tube, which drains bloody fluid from the wound. he also had a feeding tube going right into his gut. i, along with an extern nurse, gave him a bed bath. my first one in a hospital! i saw some old balls. but nbd, i see genitals basically everyday. old ones.
