Pool Party

I have the best study group. We like to eat a lot, play ping pong and basketball, give professors cartoon names, give each other care bear names, not study, and have pool parties. After one of our ridiculous tests we had a pool party/birthday party for Micah. It was so fun to just relax and act like we 10 years old again. My favorite part of tests are the parties we have before and after. :) Here are some pics from the party...

IV

(This blog might get pretty boring now if you're not into nursing stuff or even if you are :)....just fyi!)

I put my first IV in a baby last week. It was really nerve racking hearing the baby scream the entire time and with 2 nurses holding him down.
But I got it in my first try so I still have a 100% success rate with placing IV's!

Can I just say how happy I am every Thursday cause I'm in peds? I used to dread clinicals cause of my dislike of old med surg floors but peds makes me so happy. I actually look forward to going to the hospital. Finally I get to take care of babies!
I was in the ER last week and I loved it. It's totally different than being on the floor. I love the adrenaline of it and the fast paced work you have to do when someone comes in from the ambulance. Might be something I could enjoy and get used to...

Want to hear some great news??? It's now August which means I am done in 6 months! Hallelujah. I hope I can make it these next few months.
