So life here at our clinical orientation/experience is very busy! We've had some down time to just hang out and talk but its really just blowing off steam before the next set of check offs. Yesterday was the check off for the physical exam. Sounds really easy but when you have to pull information out that you haven't thought about since the beginning of nursing school 5 years ago and learn new info on top of it not as a nurse but as a provider-its pretty tough. I passed though, only missing one set of information that I knew but frankly just ran out of time. Having had that behind us it was nice to just hang out around the bon fire last night and blow off steam with the ladies. We've actually discovered that we're a pretty wild bunch and we have a lot of fun together. Something tells me that there will be many wine and chocolate filled reunions for years to come.
This morning was truly vagina boot camp. We had the pleasure of doing pelvic exams on each other (so much fun!) and I'm happy to report that I fingered my first cervix. To some this is either not a big deal or really gross and disgusting but it was pretty satisfying to know that I can get my hands into somebody's vag area. :)
So I'll spare you the rest of the gory details but so far so good. I'm missing my kid like crazy but thats the only really big downfall to this whole experience. Tonight we are getting off campus for the first time since Wed. night and busting loose. We've decided to get tattoos for our next bonding experience and I'm really excited. I already have one tat but I've wanted another one for a while and I think after the past 2 days I've earned it. I'll try to remember to post pics of everybody's creations-that is if I'm not too impaired! 4 days down, 4 more to go!
