That's what they told us the first day of this semester... It is recommended we spend 64 hours a week outside of lecture studying for this semester...hence I have no time to blog. Psych rotation is interesting to say the least...I will try harder to keep blogging...

So life is busy between nursing school 4 days a week, working saturdays at the hospital, church, plus Jake's two jobs, and running with the squad.

Nursing school is going well I'm in pediatrics clinicals right now and I must say I really like kids more than adults. Although I have not gotten to hold any of the newborns on the floor, I think Jake paid off all the other nursing student and my teacher so I would not hold them! I had a patient thursday night who was absolutely adorable! He would come up to you and start talking jibberish to you with the most intense face. His parents were very nice as well and so I got to do a good assessment on him, he took my stethoscope from me and started trying to listen to his heart and then put the bell up to my heart.

Last weekend I worked in the ICU and it was my first time on the unit, it was rather terrifying at first. You'd think a klutz like me would not be allowed on the floor! But I managed to not pull out anyone's vents for 8 hours and did actually have a good time. I also got to assist the nurse with a mans post-mortum care which is a situation that is indescribable until you've done it yourself, they try to prepare you for it in nursing school but you're never fully prepared for it. They also don't prepare you for the body starting to twitch in the body bag, while in the elevator down to the morgue.....AHHHHH creepy....

Well we leave this morning for the airport at 2, and it's about 12:30 here in Eastern time and I am trying to stay awake til we get to the airport and I am finding it more and more difficult. At the moment I am subjecting Jacob to A Christmas Story... Apparently red rider bebe guns, and frozen flag pole double dog dares are not entertaining at this time of night...Tonight at our packing meeting the team was informed that President Obama will be in Guadalajara at the same time we are there, please pray this does not affect our trip security wise, apparently we are flying in the day before he is...

...Poor Flick...
