Amazing!

Today was another amazing clinical day. I was it the nursery and got to see 3 deliveries. Two were "natural" and 1 was C section. One of the babies peed on his mom as soon as they placed him on her abdomen, it was so funny! She was laughing through the pain.

I helped with the newborn assessments, vital signs and meds. I tested baby blood sugars, gave the eye meds and a hepatitis vaccine. I also bathed, fed, changed and held newborns and got to feed a lil 3# preemie. She was adorable! They all were!

I got to inspect a placenta, watch a circumcision and a see a tubal ligation! AWESOME!!

We talked to some of the nurses and got some advice and some more insight into what a L&D/Nursery/NICU/Postpartum nurse does and the stress and responsibilities you have. We also talked about cross training and making sure you get that year or two of Med Surg in to help you be a better nurse and prepare you for almost anything.

To top it all off, I got a 96 on my nursing process paper!

Got home, slept, ate and watched The Vampire Diaries. I'm pissed that I can't watch another new epi til  APRIL! I can appreciate that they are trying to lure in new watchers but seriously, leave my show alone CW!!

Can't wait for the Hillywood Parody of TVD to come out!!
