Oh my goodness, getting up at 4:30 was not easy!! That waterless shampoo was definitely the star of my morning routine today! I was feeling really anxious this morning when I woke up, and couldn't finish my coffee or my pop-tart. Which I ended up regretting when I got to clinicals. However, I ended up being thankful because I had to help with an enema that was especially foul smelling, and that was the first time I think I have actually gagged when dealing with poop of any sort. Luckily I was wearing a face mask, so the PCT I was helping didn't see me almost throw up, lol.
I got to clinicals WAY early, but it just helped my nerves, because I wasn't flustered. Oh and also taking my anti-anxiety medication I think helped me tremendously today!! I basically did a lot of observing, but if they needed me to help with an enema, I'm on it! Oh, you need help transporting a patient to pain clinic, Sure! Oh, Ms. Sweet Patient needs somehow to take her downstairs so she can go home, Absolutely!! If someone needed something that I could/was allowed to do, I was alllllll over it!
I liked observing, but I would have liked to get to do more, but that's what I have every other clinical day for! So, there is always going to be a little bit of anxiety when it comes to clinicals, but I really really enjoyed my first day.
I was going to go to school and get some stuff done, but I have to say I am pretty effing exhausted, so I need to nap or else I WILL pass out on the way to campus. If I don't get to school today, that's ok....I just have to adjust my plans a little bit, that's all!
Today I think definitely helped me be able to tell that this is something I want to be doing, because I felt pretty awesome when I left today!! =)
