I rolled out of bed, threw my strolling clothing and sneakers on, and drove to a path by the drinking water, exactly where I caught the sunrise.

Actually…because of the way the trail is set up, I could see the moon on one particular aspect of the peninsula, and the sunlight on the other.

I expended aspect of my walk on the rocks rather of the path.

A thing about navigating the uneven rocks would make me experience like a kid again…and on the rocks, I can delight in the eastern sunlight, hear the waves, and experience the cold breeze on my cheeks.

Delighted is not a significant sufficient word for how I feel but…I do just sense like I am bathing in pleasure at moments like those.

It was a cold morning! My nose and cheeks matched the pink of my hoodie by the time I was accomplished.

Immediately after my walk, I drove back property, but I made a cease at Safeway simply because I’d had a mind cramp the day just before.

See, I’d long gone to Sam’s Club, mostly since I desired eggs. But I arrived dwelling with specifically no eggs. Sigh.

I produced entire wheat blueberry pancakes for myself. Or rather, I cooked them. I’d made 1 recipe’s truly worth of the batter two days back, cooked 50 percent, and set the other 50 % in a Mason jar in the fridge.

That will make for a pleasant quick breakfast for me in the subsequent day or two!

I also started a batch of creamy tortellini soup for the reason that I wanted a packable food for my two scientific days.

I tried this new-to-me recipe, and I landed on it predominantly for the reason that it utilized a lot of things that I transpired to have on hand, and my key will need was to use up some wilty kale from my fridge.

I only wanted about 50 percent an onion, so I stored the other 50 % in this jar it’s all glass, so I under no circumstances have to be concerned about the onion stinking up a lid. I obtained the jar at Goodwill for $1 a long time in the past.

Scientific commencing time! Obviously, I can not give you a thorough report of what I did for the reason that, hello there, affected person privacy.

But I can say in common that at my scientific shifts, I:

  • get report from a pupil nurse and a regular nurse
  • do critical indications
  • do a head-to-toe evaluation on my assigned affected individual
  • administer oral and injection meds (with the supervision of my nursing teacher)
  • hold IV meds and software IV pumps
  • document factors in the clinic system and also in our student system
  • fill out clinical paperwork for university
  • make a treatment program for a patient

And I check out to take edge of just about every prospect to notice the nurses and techs as they do their jobs. If they are the type that does not thoughts queries, I question about their system and the why powering they do particular matters.

We get a meal crack all-around 5:00, and after that, we’re again on the ground till 8:30.
