Wake up screaming and realize you haven't fallen asleep yet.. :)

This week was so stressing. As it gets closer to the end, instructors are trying to get every little thing in that they possibly can before you leave, and the students are counting down the days until the end. This was our first week on the new clinical floor. I had two patients this week. The one was experiencing some symptoms that got increasingly worse throughout the day and we were unable to find a cause. Later that night, they realized that it was a GI bleed. The nurses were trying to get a consult and something done for this patient, but were unable to get a doctor to pay attention until late the next morning when I was there.

I am glad this week is over! I was glad I finally made it one day without tears. There is also a lot of pressure for me to get my resume and application in at different hospitals. A lot of places have already hired for the beginning of the summer. Our nursing graduation pictures were this week. It should be interesting to see how those turn out! We also picked up our caps and gowns this week! Graduation cannot come fast enough!!!

until next time =)
