ICU

So today, my clinical was in the ICU. Best clinical day EVER. I did so much and was treated just like a real nurse. It was amazing. I was drawing blood for ABGs, recalibrating/working with PICC and Arterial lines, I took out a NG tube, hung tooons of IVs and gave awesome medications.
It completely reminded me why I want to be a nurse. I was helping this patient live. I was working to preserve a life. Wow. Right? Sometimes it really hits home what a nurse does. And I've got just to remember days like this when I'm spending hours and hours in the library!


PS--Look at all these medical terms I'm using :) :) :)
