It has come to my attention that I am in nursing school and never talk about what I'm doing so here is a little recap of the semester thus far...I am now doing clinicals and it is crazy busy but super fun. I love being in the hospital! I have been on the medical floor where I have placed catheters, given IV's, wiped bottoms, been exposed to the swine flu (millions of times), gotten the swine flu, wiped more bottoms, infused blood, given my own blood (and almost puked at the size of the needle), had patients dies, had patients get better, been yelled at by cranky old people for smiling too much, and creeped past prison inmates.
I have also been in the operating room and recovery. I have seen knees replaces, been hit in the face (mask) with shards of bone, I have been splashed with a spinal block when it blew from an osteoporosis vertebrae, I have watched a baby be born(c-section is very violent) and tubes tied. I now know exactly what they did when they removed my gallbladder, and helped people recover from nicked bladders. The saddest thing I have dealt with is a little child waking up from anesthetic screaming because they don't know why they are in so much pain.
I have learned a lot and can't wait for more and more to come!
We had a scary dinner with scary food. Nothing like purple dye all over your face so it looks like you can't put on lipstick.
This is jello with fruit in it, but it did look really gross.
Then the pumpkin carving began...
Little dog, also known as "Mahana you ugly" cleaned out the pumpkin guts for us.
Chris got a little out of control while flinging goo, lets see what this tree grows next year.
It keeps kids busy for hours (or until they start crying)
This was my pumpkin. I wanted a money sign because they are so expensive but I started cutting it opposite and it was to hard and didn't work out so I quit!
My roommate is over the universities athletics and cheerleaders so it would only be appropriate if she dressed like a cheerleader to make fun of them at their own party!
We had to pick apples for cider, apple butter and pie filling. (No that is not me in the corner bent over)
The fruits of our labor!
This walnut tree started shedding it's leaves at my grandmothers house. There was no wind, no disturbances and all the leaves started falling until nothing was left on the tree. It was one of the wierdest things I have ever seen!
