“This weekend I will write a blog.” I always tell myself and it never happens. Bummer. But I have some time this afternoon. I came home early from school being sick and now I have some time to kill before work.
In my last blog I wrote about the heat and work. Well the heat is gone and we (Knox County Ohio) are sitting comfortably in the high 60’s. Work is still going well. I enjoy my job and coworkers. I am hoping to be able to start observing more surgeries soon.
I conclude my last post wanting to update you on school. At the time of that post I had just completed my exploratory laparotomy
Ex-Lap Back Table
sign off. I got a 92% on it and this is from not having any practice. I did not think I did that good, but my teacher reassured me that I did. I have been really enjoying my teacher this module. The teacher takes the time to help, answer question (even if they have to go and look it up), and make good suggestions. I am going to miss this teacher next module. Anyway… I was very happy when I saw my grade for the ex-lap
At the end of last week I got signed off on a bowel resection case to which I got a 94%. Also I lost seven minutes on my setup time! This case went much better. I was less nervous then with the ex-lap. I think it was because I did get a chance to practice. Also again the teacher is very calming.
This is the last week of the first module of the third semester and it went by FAST! I am really glad the Spanish class is coming to an end. I did not enjoy that class at all. So this week is about studying for final exams.
Next module I only will have Surg Tech 160 in the mornings three days a week. I am very happy for that. I am hoping that a couple of days a week between school and work I can observe surgeries at NASH.
Well that is about it from here. I will try and do better the next five-week about posting. Oh! There is something that God has placed on my heart after I get done with school next August. I am reluctant to share right now but I hope to in the future.
