now, call me a dumb blonde, but when i originally requested this hospital for my critical care rotation, i thought it was county usc. now, about half way through last semester, after i already received my clinical assignment for this semester, i was informed devastating [at least to me...] news, this hospital does not have an er. however, i simply assumed that we would go to a different hospital for our "er day" so we would still get experience. that makes sense right? all nursing students should spent at least one day in the er during their nursing school experience...well, i found out today that since we are at a hospital without an er, my clinical group will spend zero days in an emergency room. hearing this in clinical today, i was heartbroken. honestly, i have been so looking forward to this semester because i would get to spend time in the emergency room. and now that i don't, if i am being completely honest, i am crushed. i am really trying to stay positive about the situation, and i know that God has his hand in this, i just really wish i could get just one day to spend in the er working as a nurse. yes, i spend a lot of time in various emergency rooms, but i am never there with a nursing perspective. i guess that will just have to come with my first job [Lord wiling!]. but this is going to be a good semester. we are learning really awesome, interesting information that i am passionate about [for the first time in nursing school]. so it is going to be good. and there are only 116 more days till graduation [i just had to sneak that piece of information in here!!].
on a different note, i made a great discovery tonight. tuesday night yoga at 24 hour fitness. i have been going to 24 hour fitness for a couple of years, but can count the number of times i have been to a group class on one hand. anyway, it was awesome. it was such a nice change to my typical workout schedule, and the instructor worked us! i think tuesday night yoga may become my new thing.
