I got to do the coolest thing EVER yesterday. I spent my day in an OR.
For those of you medical terminology challenged, thats an Operating Room.
Yes. Where they cut people open and poke their guts. (Thats how Jacob describes it).
See, that's me, all scrubbed up!
Anyways, it was so much fun. And I only got sick once, but once I walked out of the room and sat down for a few minutes, good as new. The surgeries were so neat, on one lady, they removed her whole eye pretty much, except for the sclera (which is the white part of the eye). Did I pass out? Oh no, not me :) And I even got to help with some things, and read machines and play nurse all day.
I've got more gory details if you want them... but they tend to make some people sick.
But just know, the human body, AMAZING. It was so cool to see my anatomy class in action!
And it was great to be surrounded by all these people who love their jobs, knowing that can be my job someday.
So i'm even more confident in my decision to be a nurse now, and so much more excited to start the program in 5 days.
Yeah, 5 days.

We are proud of you! -mom
