Well, once again I'm way long on updating. I've been going pretty much non-stop this semester. Randy has dubbed himself a widower, that's how little we see each other! Ugh.
So I got my practicum requests in, but the more I think about it, the more I kind of wish I had gone ahead and selected something in peds. I know, I know. That's pretty much the last thing I expected myself to say at this point. I came into this program thinking that I was really not going to enjoy peds (despite how much I love kids), but the more time I spend at my peds rotation the more I love it! I really enjoy the hospital too, so maybe that plays into it, but I'm really facing some interesting thoughts these days, and most of them revolve around wanting to stay in peds or work with neonates. So we'll see... maybe after working a year with adults, I'll go ahead and make the switch. For now I guess I just have to make the most of the rest of my clinicals.
Which are: complex and public health plus practicum. Ooooooo. For complex we'll focus on more critical care, which I am SO excited about. We'll get a chance to (finally) see the ED (which I know some people have seen but I have not so I'm looking forward to that a lot), and we'll see some ICU stuff. Clinical is going to be at Fairfax, which is also where I requested my practicum, so I may get more of Fairfax than I was expecting, lol.
Um, I don't have a count-down or anything. I am just getting the last assignments done and trying to keep my focus. Seems like it took me a long time to get it this semester, so I need to hang on to it for dear life. I'm really trying to end strong.
That's pretty much it. I'll update at the end of the semester!
