Hospital Clinicals

This weekend I spent the majority of my time at the hospital fulfilling my clinical hours for my nursing assistant training class. The first day there was a little rough. I was assigned to the duty of acquiring vitals and sent off to the masses. Yikes that was a little nerve racking! I guess the nerves got to me because I couldn't hear a blood pressure to save my life and I missed the part where the my supervising CNA told me to write down the info to bring to her. Lol that sounds a little obvious but most of the info is written on the chart in the room and that part I remembered. Needless to say my CNA was a little frustrated with me. Thankfully Sunday was much smoother and by the end of it all some of the nurses were asking me where I would be applying for a job after the class was all over with. I'm hoping to get a position at the hospital so I'm making an extra effort to make some connections while I'm there. I have 4 more days of clinicals.....and thankfully none of them take up my weekends. I'm ready to have my weekends back! I'm building a rather large sleep debt and sooner or later its going to have to be paid and I'd rather not be caught sleeping at my desk :)
