What's left of me...
I know I have not posted in a while about school, but things have been so crazy and they are about to get worse.
I just finished four weeks of clinicals at a long term care facility. It was a lot more fun than I thought it would be. Other facilities I have been in are not the cleanest, they smell like urine, and the employees were not very nice. This one, however, was amazing. It is run by an order of nuns known as the Little Sisters of the Poor. It was a great experience, but I realized how much back breaking work CNAs do. I would have to say my favorite part was getting to administer medications to the residents... and walking around the place with my stethoscope around my neck making me feel very official.
I now have four weeks of school left, six tests, three reports, two care plan concept maps, one presentation, and two simulations labs to finish. Needless to say I am very tired and am trying my best not to fall victim to burnout. Looking forward to a summer of reading, traveling, shopping, crocheting, and of course working.
