hospital - end of clinical education #1
Surprise! It’s almost my last week at the hospital and then I get a little time off & in the classroom before the next one. I’m ready for a break - getting “paid” with knowledge (which is the whole premise of clin ed experiences) can start to wear a little thin. Some things have changed since the beginning. 1.

clinicals start next week...
I’m starting the 1st of my clinical education experiences which will be my job/school for the next year (A.K.A. my LAST year of school!). For this first one (the next 10 weeks) I’ll be working/learning in a hospital that’s pretty near our apartment which is great. To save money I got hand-me-down scrubs from a friend of mine that works at Children’s Hospital. They’re...
