I'm stupidly busy with school and clinical.. but trying to enjoy it! I only have 5 more weeks of the semester and then Winter Break, then start 4th and final semester.. AHHH!! Where is time going?! I can hardly believe it.
I started my first foley today in clinical, and also hung my first IVBP! Yay!! Another one checked off on my list, but hopefully I'll still get more opportunities. I was worried I wouldn't even get to do either of those this semester.. and I've already done an IV and foley in the first 2 weeks.. 4 more weeks to go, YAY!
I had some patients in Oncology today that really made me feel sad but appreciate my life. I cared for a 31 year old man with colorectal cancer that was progressing and the prognosis was pretty poor. It was sad to see a man so young in this condition.. But unfortunately, that's reality for some people. People come and go, people are born and people will die. Although for some people this is what life brings and it made me sad..but he was STILL friendly, smiling, joking and laughing, even through his pain. It made me appreciate life a little bit more today.. Thank you for that. You changed a small part of me today.. You saved my life a little bit today.
