Clinicals!

I've started clinicals and have been at Mountain View Hospital. I've learned so much this week and loved every second of it! The first day I worked in the Nursery and got to hold and do assessments on infants that were only a few hours old. It was amazing. I also worked with laboring and postpartum mothers. The highlight of the week was seeing a mother give birth to a beautiful baby boy. It was the most incredible feeling. I love nursing! Cheryl and Brandon were sooo nice for letting me stay with them this week as I leave their house early and come home late!

I have also spent time in Provo with friends! It's been so nice being out of school. I have to start concentrating on writing papers and studying for entrance exams that I have to take in March for the RN program.

Surviving!

School has been really hectic lately. We're preparing for hospital clinicals which start in a week and a half. I'm excited to finally get out of the classroom! I go to Payson Hospital first for labor & delivery and pediatrics. I was born in that hospital 21 years ago :)

It's been really nice weather so far. Today it was sunny, and it has only snowed once since I've been back!

Greys Anatomy has been good :) I haven't made time for Biggest Loser but I will definitely be watching it after this coming week is over!

Presidential Inauguration is TUESDAY!!!!! :) :) I like Obama and am excited for him to lead our country!
