The O.R.

For clinical this week we got to go to the O.R. We were actually put in pairs of 2 and sent to different O.R's. I was sent to OutPatient...not that exciting. I watched 2 knee surgeries and when my last patient woke up, Morgan, from my class, came in and asked if I wanted to go watch a breast reduction. So I said I would go for a little since they said it was a 3-4 hour surgery. The Surgeon walked in and said, "I have been making them bigger all morning, and now I get to make them smaller." I thought they would cut a small incision and just suck out the fat, like lipo or something...well obviously I know nothing about breast reductions... it smelled bad, it was MESSY, and I saw a lot of fat. She must be really sore...

Nursing School

Sometimes when I am not studying I think to myself, goodness I never study for school, it isn't that bad. Then on days like today I look at the clock 12:53 am, and realize that all I did today was... went to church, studied, took a nap, studied, ate dinner, studied, took a bath (and studied), studied, studied, and studied... Now I am going to bed so I can wake up early to go...study. maybe I do study all of the time, and when I am not studying I am having so much fun that I forgot how much I really do study. Why did no one tell me how stressful nursing school was??? And why do I feel like I still know nothing...Time never goes by as fast as it does when you are trying to study or when you are doing homework assignments. This semester can not be over soon enough!
