>Hi LOVES!
How are you?? I’m GREAT! Today was my last day of clinical! It was 40 hours at a VERY nice nursing home/assisted living facility. Seriously if you’re looking for someone to wipe your bum, clean your catheter, feed or bathe you – I’m your girl 😉 hahaha
Right after clinical ended I headed immediately here:
For one of these:
^ Reece’s cup McFlurry! GREATLY deserved, I think 🙂
Besides the great experience gained in the class, getting to know the residents was amazing. I will admit that in the past the thought of working with the elderly kinda freaked me out. But once I got there and saw how fragile and helpless these people are I had such compassion for them. It’s hard to believe that these 90-something people once led full and often FASCINATING lives. Each one had a unique story and I really learned a lot aside from the technical skills. Exhausting week, but very worth it 🙂
Sad it’s over, I’m glad to be back to my normal routine which will be:
1) Getting a JOB (as a nursing aide; to obtain patient care experience required for PA school)
2) Getting back to my workout schedule
3) Finishing my thesis and applying to PA programs (!)
1) I reeeeally want to work in an oncology unit or hematology/transplant since these areas are still my passion
2) I just want to RUN RUN RUN! Since clinical required us to be on our feet and moving (sometimes dashing frantically) for 8 hours per day, I had NO ENERGY to run when I got home.
3) Finishing my M.S. thesis (on the generation of antibody-drug conjugates for you science geeks like me 🙂
But for now, I’m chillin with Kels (sister) on the couch, catching up with Sir DVR, and savoring this guy:
^Sangria! Great (and easy!) recipe here
Alright loves, have a great weekend!!!!! XOXOX
**QUESTIONS: Have you ever taken a week off from exercise because you’re completely SPENT from a new job? How do you adjust???
Who watched the Lakers vs. Celtics game??? Great game, but as the Bostonian I am, I was quite upset 😦
