Just wanted to say a quick hello from paradise!
Today I was in the OR at clinical and got to see a total hip replacement! I've always heard that orthopedic surgeons are brutal and rough and I would agree with that with no question. Seeing the power tools that were laid out on the sterile field was intimidating and hearing the braking of bones was intense but I loved every second of it. I wouldn't want to be a OR nurse but watching surgery is fascinating. Today I was thinking that maybe I'd go to school to be a surgical PA, but I change my mind about my future about every three weeks. I went from wanted to be a APRN, then a midwife, then just an RN, and now here I am not knowing where I'll end up.
Tomorrow we have our first med-surg exam. It's so nice living with all nursing majors because I can ask any one of my roommates if I have a question instead of having to text one of my friends or actually (God forbid) look it up myself. We have exams every Friday this semester which is going to get crazy. Instead of relaxing right after our exam, we'll have to go right back to studying.
There are a few things I'm starting to miss:
-fall season, including pumpkin coffee and lattes
-Uconn football games
-snuggling with my pup
-mom's home cooking (even though it's rare haha)
-good pizza!
-my biffles and of course paulie
-BBC steel rail and Naughy Nurse
Back to studying! At least I have the rain forest to look forward to this weekend :)
I wish i had seen that surgery! Anyway, remember that lots of people travel from far away to see what you have in your backyard!! Miss you, Amanda.
