Week in pictures (and some words too)

Here I am at clinical last week showing off my really ugly white shoes. Don't I look official in my scrubs?
This week we learned how to draw blood and start IVs. This is the dummy arm we practice on with it's "blood supply."
First you have to put on a tourniquet.

And then you have to hope you hit the dummy vein! The worst part is due to the lack of pressure in the dummy arm's circulatory system...you don't really get anything out.
