Clinicals:

Day 1: Good day :) I got to nap and was even tucked in by my preceptor hahahhahah. Thank God, my EMTs were nice! R (who hecka reminded me of Stevo) talked a lot and C talked too little. Riding at the back of the ambulance is not the most comfortable ride in the world. [[Quick tip: EMS is attractive. It looks good on people, even if they're hurt-lookin' aka BUSTED, they look'll like an 8. It's gotta be the uniforms. Naw sayin'? ;) ]] Anyway, I helped transport 2 patients and took their vitals and I learned how to take the gurney out of the ambulance (too bad my left arm was sore from practicing intubations—so basically, I looked dumb, hah). And at the end of the day, I got a good review from my preceptor—it was a very chill day.

Day 2: Busy busy busy!! Definitely not as fun as the ride-along—I didn't even get to sit for more than 15 minutes (after by 30 minute lunch break). Made and cleaned a lot of beds, took some vitals, did EKGs, encountered a full arrest, saw IVs get started and medication administered, walk around A LOT looking for something to do. The ER had a handful of attractiveness, but just a handful. It was just so, so busy that even though I was exhausted there was no time to just take a break and do HW. I learned and saw a lot though, so really can't complain. I got there at 10:30pm and left at 7:30am (so I was really there for 9 hours). -___- And now I'm going to church.
