WHAT A WEEK!

monday, tuesday, and wed. started off with chaos. our first test of the semester was on wed. probably the preperation and anxiety ive ever had for a test. the good news i didnt do as bad as i thought and the bad news.... i guess is i didnt get an A... o well. now we all know what to expect. the next day i had my second clinical experience. the first clinicals began with a fire extiguisher grenade being thrown in the dining room. this second clinical experience began with a movie like situation. keep in mind the movie Devil came out friday. me along with my instructer, mrs. campbell, and 7 other group mates got stuck in the elevator. it was the longest 5 mins of my life. finally the elevator opened up and we were released. after the experience i felt as if i could do anything! i was confident the rest of the day, just thankfull to be alive. the clinical experience involved a decent amount of patient care and helped us all to become more comfortable in the hospital enviroment.
