I'm all set up!

Today we learned how to get out units patient-ready. We also got to practice using our air/water and suction tools. I spent a lot of time sucking up Jodie's cheek with the high speed suction. I think she really enjoyed it haha. We also passed off another PE. I don't think it matters how ready I am for those, they will probably always be nerve racking. I'm going to bring my camera next time and then I can post some awesome clinic attire pictures so you can all see how adorable we look with all of our protective equipment on!

First Pass Off

I passed off my first PE today...the first of many. It was a pretty awesome clinic today. We had a demonstration from the inventor of the BlueBoa. It is a really cool suction device that I have a feeling I am going to be using a lot. We got to go through the secret door into the dark room in radiology. All in all it was a great day.

1st clinic day!!!

Today was our first day in clinic! I'm so excited to finally be here. It will be so fun to get started learning everything and to make new friends with everyone. We did a scavenger hunt today. It's amazing how different offices are. I think everyday in a new office should start out with a scavenger hunt so you can find everything.
