Success

Bam! I hit one Monday...............got in a freaking IV FINALLY...............and it was even in the hand!! Those are typically the hardest to get, and they hurt the patient while being put in. This dude didn't haven't anything else for me to get, so it was the hand. He whined like a baby (and he was older)! But then again, we sent him for a psych consult.........so I don't feel so bad!

It was a busy one, but not overwhelming, and I like that. I'm up to 2 patients now, and holding that steadily.......moving to night shift in about 2 weeks. Gosh, I hope I can handle being up all night!! Maybe after I'm on nights for a few weeks I can take on 3 patients. It's getting closer and closer to me being all on my own - HOW SCARY is that?? I should be on my own sometime around August 1st.
