My week
It has been a long week my friends. We drove all day Monday, got a flat tire around Wendover, and arrived in Provo at 9pm. It was fun driving with Laura. She serenaded me with her guitar as we rode. Tuesday, I had class from 8-11, had lunch with Laura, and had another class from 1-4pm. Afterward, we found out the flat tire had to be replaced because of a bad hole in the wall. On the way back, my electric window stopped working, so I may have been really angry. Wednesday, I had class from 8-9am, then decided to do my "adult errands." I talked to someone about parking permits, waivers to live in non-approved housing, and applied for student loans. Then I went and got my tire replaced and bought a bookcase. I got most of my books put away, then proceeded to my "front loading lab" from 1-5pm. I learned how to scrub in for surgery so you are a sterile person. Also, how to put in and take out ivs. I missed her vein though and the teacher dug around. Hers was perfect on me, but hurt a bit and gave me a nasty bruise. Laura took me out for dinner afterward and we went on a walk through the cemetary. Then we visited Rachel and Bruce. This morning, I awoke at 5:25am and met people at school for a carpool 20 minutes later. The IMC in Murray is a really nice hospital and I am excited about working there. It should be pretty fun. We mostlty just walked around today. I learned how to do charting on the computer and observed iv hanging. I also assesed iv sites. Soon I will actually give them. We got to change into surgical scrubs with hats and booties and walk around the OR. We looked through the windows of several operations which was awesome. I get to be inside the operating room on september 24 and 25 so that should be fun. Megan and I went to institute today and I met some of the ward. This year is old testament and the teacher is way intense. I hope to learn much and hopefully not any false doctrine. Tomorrow, I just have class from 8-9am, then I am free. There's a nursing luau in the evening, but I plan to relax away the rest of the day. Also, I found out today that I got a pell grant and a subsidized stafford loan. Thank heavens I asked about it. I hope you are all doing well. Please post pictures of the house when everyone is moved in so I can see.
