Thank you for inspiring me to have big dreams, I miss you everyday Poppie

this is just one of the many things that I've learned in my 40 hours of training at the hospital.  So far the job has been good and enjoyable, but I think that can mainly be attributed to the fact that no one has thrown up on me and I've not had a patient that has had explosivediarrhea....once that happens I will definitely be hating life just a bit. The worst thing that I've had to do so far has probably been testing a stool sample.  I'm not going to explain it because I don't really want to think about it...

yesterday, I found out that I will in fact have to take the competency test again. Good thing I'm very used to studying in the summers and that this test isn't quite up to par with the EMT test, but it is still quite annoying that I have to do it when I've already started working...

I'm thinking that once I get thrown up on I will no longer live in fear of the day I get thrown up on. I think it's like doing a new skill; you (well at least I do) anticipate the day when you crash for the first time, and until that day, you kind of live in fear...sort of a pathetic way of living, but it is what it is.

now for some good ol' clinical orientation to bore me out of my mind for the next 8 hours. holla!
