My days of sleeping in are almost over! I've got to learn to function on 6-7 hours of sleep (if I'm lucky!!) instead of my usual 8-9. Clinicals start Monday so it'll be up by 4:30 for clinical days, M, Tu, Th, Fri...and 5 on Wednesdays (my "sleep in" day!). So we got our clinical schedules and of course I start out in the children's OR, by myself....there will be a senior student there, but no one else as virginal as me!! My senior "big sis" who was assigned to me at the start of the program was nice enough to take time out of her day this afternoon to show me around the children's OR (TC Thompson) which helped to ease my anxiety to some degree. I've never worked with kids much less even intubated an adult yet, so it should make for an interesting week! Hopefully, just like nursing school, I will be able to look back at laugh at all the silly little things I stressed over, but for now I think a little Xanax wouldn't hurt!
We were told today that interviews for the new class have already been set for November (letters haven't been sent out yet though)...it seems strange that it's almost time for interviews again! How time flies!
