I felt so good about clinicals today. I was not nearly as nervous about it today and I'm not sure why. I woke up with the thought of.....what would be worse - a completely dependent patient who can't do anything or someone in contact isolation? Thank God I got neither. The lady I had was wonderful and almost completely independent. I washed her back and feet and that was about it. She was lots of fun to talk to. The assessment was easy to do by watching her during her physical therapy and doing her bath and things. I got bowel sounds and lung and heart sounds. Did the neuro assessment and everything. NOW the fun begins with the write up and 3 pages of drugs.
Oh and I got my emergency loan today so that helped since my bank account was at $0.00! I picked up my daughter from school and we drove out to get the check. Then I took her to see where mommy spends all her time. I let her look in the window at the lab....had to be quick since there was a class going on at the time but we tried not to make noise or be too obvious.
Bad thing today was my boyfriend just texted me and said he is sick, vomiting, fever, chills and major stomach cramps. I feel so bad for him. I'm not with him tonight but I have been there since Friday night so I'm praying I don't get it! Hoping for his sake it's just a 24 hour stomach bug but with a fever I'm not so sure.
Hope everyone has a great weekend!
Thank you for all your kind words of support. I am so sorry your boyfried was sick. I hope he had a speedy recovery and you got to spend some time together!
