Halfway done!

Last week I officially past the halfway mark of the nursing program. Only 2.5 more semesters to go! We have finished up our first round of Med-Surg, which I will definitely be adding to my list of things I don't want to do. This week we started our OB rotation, where we will spend three weeks before moving on to community.

Today was my first day in OB, I was on the mother baby unit, which is where mom's go after they have delivered and stay until they are discharged home. It was very different from all of the other clinical experiences I have had, mostly because I was not assigned a patient, but instead I followed a nurse. There were also babies involved, and I know very little (medically) about babies, so pretty much everything was new to me today.

Only 289 more days left!
