Hey Everyone,
Happy Belated Valentine’s Day! I hope every one had a wonderful day. My V-day was good. Ben bought me a black shirt (to wear for my nursing pictures….we have to wear a black crew cut shirt and our lab coat), a pearl necklace (not real lol), and some of my favorite V-Day candies called Turtles made by DeMets. They are chocolates with carmel and pecans inside them…..they are absolutely delicious! Then we got to-go at our favorite Japanese Restaurant. Overall, it was a great day!
Tomorrow which is Monday I am getting my nursing pictures made…I’m excited hehe. Our school puts up every graduating classes pictures in our nursing hall. They have up every nursing class who has graduated……actually all the way up to 1976 (probably earlier but I haven’t seen them). It is cool to see those pictures because they are wearing their nursing hats….which people really don’t wear any more. I have been trying to keep my face clear of any zits lol….there isn’t anything as awesome as having a big nice zit on your forehead for your class picture. Right now my face is clear but those darn things just pop up out of nowhere.
School has been going great…can’t wait for it to be over. Once again I love my clincials! I think my favorite Registered Nurse RN task is drawing blood. I LOVE it! It is so fun trying to find a vein and sticking it and there is no other greater satisfaction then popping the tube onto the vacutainer and seeing red gold (blood as I call it). So I am very fascinated with veins, especially my husband’s veins. He has the biggest veins I have ever seen and I have been trying to talk him into letting me practice on him but I haven’t had any luck. Just to give you an idea of how great his veins are here is a picture of his veins on his hand compared to mine….haha:

See why I want to practice on him?! I have a super busy week this upcoming week. Monday I have pictures, Tuesday work 7a-7pm, Wednesday class 8a-4pm (also have a test), Thursday (Professional Meeting at 530pm), Friday work 7a-7pm, Saturday CPR class 9a-11p, Sunday work 7a-7p. However, I’m trying to be positive about it because I think this is one of my last busy weeks for awhile….wooohoo. Wish me luck. I hope everyone has a great week next week!
Until next time,
Sarah

I know exactly how you feel! I post a countdown on my blog for graduation, too! LOL You’re finishing a bit ahead of me ~ congrats to you! I did a round of community health clinicals at our county health dept and I LOVED to draw blood. The nurses let me do every single blood draw that came in, LOL. They said I was a pro ~ I never missed. But I did have some good veins to work with most of the time.
Best of luck to you in your nursing career!

Hey Kelli,
Thank you for your comment. Congrats to both of us for finally making it. Drawing blood is fun and it feels like you have accomplished something great once you get the hang of it. I loved my rotation at the health dept. Hopefully, later on when I’m tired of floor nursing I will try to get a job at the health dept. I like the setting! Good luck to the both of us. I will be visiting your blog. Great to see another student nurse out there in web space lol. Thanks for stopping by!
