Firing on all cylinders

Yes, it was a little strange, but it was a decent day. My patients got rolling and I got them out and going.

I had students to work with again today and it was a joy. I sent one on a field trip to the SU after I called my buddy Sue. She had loads of patients for procedures and she was happy to have the student. The doc was very complimentary. I think he just likes the nursing students better than some of the residents.

The end of the semester keeps the students hopping, and thankfully, we have lots to do at the Hotel. I got to instruct one on how to change a suprapubic catheter, then have him/her do it with my instruction and standby to help (this was a large patient and he/she really needed someone to hold the pannus).

Next, I helped to hang blood for another patient and brought another student along so he/she could learn how that's done. It was pretty satisfying.

Finally, I calmed one of the worried rascals who was dropping one too many f-bombs. I calmly asked him to stop, and he complied. The other nurses were pretty happy, too.

And now, it's back to homework as the semester winds down. I can't wait! More later...
