one day of clincals done

today i completed my first day of clinicals at durand senior center (which is, the new PC term for nursing home/convalescent center, etc). it went well, and the six hours went pretty fast. for the next 3 weeks i will be there thurs & fri 7a-1p along with 7 other classmates. (we are divided into 4 centers in the area). hopefully it continues to go well. it's basically doing a lot of the same tasks i had to complete when i got my nurse aide certification. i do not like nursing homes, and will never work in one (let alone live in one), but i understand knowing these skills will make me appreciate nursing assistants even more later on in my career. next semester should be more fun in med surg, etc. for now, i'm enjoying the 81 degrees the thermostat is set at. :)
