Blogging while stuffing my face

Alas, I am at the hospital again.  I swear I practically live here between my 24 clinical hours and my 24 actual working (and getting-paid-for-it) hours.  I have my computer because I came straight from school to the hospital.  Tonight I'm posted in HRP (High risk pregnancy.)  My new preceptor is a clinician so we don't have formal patient assignments.  Although non-traditional, I think it fairs better for me because I get to do things with different patients.  I pre-opped a C/S, drew labs, and urine specimens.  HRP is good for starting IVs and clinical skills, in general.  The next IV start is all me.  I think I should do alright.  No pressure.  Anyways ... my preceptor is all about teaching and letting me go out there and do stuff.  I'm all for that.  I might start an IV on GuyRN who has awesome veins.  We will see.  Only 3 and 1/2 hours to go.  I'm beat. 

Beloved made me such a wonderful dinner.  Rice & beans with some yummy steak in there.  She's really learned how to cook recently.  I love it.  Alright...I'm headed back.
