Morning, everyone. It's Wednesday already? I can't believe it.

There's a chance we'll finally be getting some measurable rain here, but when...not sure. Of course, when there's talk about high winds, hail, chanc of tornados, etc., I worry. No sign of anything any time soon.

So what's up with anyone else? How's work and home life? Any students?

Must be a quiet week, or busy....no-one's dropped by at all. Hmmm?! What to do?! Any suggestions? Anybody at all??

hi.... im a student

went to my first clinicals today... it wasnt bad at all, but i know it's coming so im bracing myself hehehehe

we have a very cool CI so i guess it helped me relax a bit. she also gave us a list of things we need for our post conference so that was something that i could check off my worry list.... but im still praying for loads of presence of mind and brain on my feet for those "thinking on your feet" moments lol!!!!!

Sounds like a really good CI.....getting you eased into the clinical experience, but also getting you to think, also.

Does the CI have you look for articles in the paper? Ours did.

Drop by often and unwind, eh?

[cooki3]

no, she didnt say we should read the paper... what's the relevance to the clinicals?

[cougarnurse]

Oh...our CI had us looking for articles related to Health Care. There were some good conversations initiated.

i see... thats a great idea... i will also bring a copy of that article about the school sued in wisconsin because a pt died.. maybe we could talk about it in the post conference
