Almost to the end

Wow!!!!
So much going on lately, i swear, i don't even have time to catch my breath. First off, we got our clinical sites and I'm in the process of contacting my first site right now. I'm so nervous!!! my first site has a reputation of being absolutely strict and tough. I know I'll learn a lot from there but still it's nerve racking. Like they say, preparation is the best solution to anxiety.

Speaking of preparation, i freakin nailed my clinical scenarios. Ok first off this is how it works. You have an hour long on one session with one of the faculty members where they give you a clinical scenario. I have the anesthesia machine available, i have a fake dummy, ET tubes, medications(propofol, ephedrine ect...), LMA tubes, mask, leads and everything else that you find in a OR.

You walk in and they throw a clinical scenario at you and you basically simulate what you would do in the OR. Nerve racking right???? and during the simulation, they throw like a gazillion questions at you.

Anyways, needless to say i was a mess before my clinical scenario. Studying medications like crazy, practicing intubation and everything else possible. i walked in nervous like crazy and boom!!!! I honestly don't know what came over me. I was functioning like a robot. And every question thrown at me i answered like crazy. My professor just looked at me and was like: " wow, that was amazing. Perfect!!!!excellent!!!! you can work anywhere!!!".

I was totally shocked myself!!!!!

Anyways, finals are next week. And being studying like crazy. I haven't seen sunlight since yesterday. I'm definitely taking a walk around the block tomorrow and catch me some Vit D. :)

The count down is on for clinicals. End of semester numero tres is almost here, and with that is the end of the didactics portion of our program.

Guys, i'm so excited!!!! cant you tell? :-)

peace out
Going back to my studies now
