Full speed ahead!

 I'll be having a practical clinical exam at the end of this and yesterday I found out that it's going to be with a breast cancer patient. Which is good because I've had a chance to do lots of those on my last clinical buuuut not for a few weeks so I panicked a little inside.

But then! :D me and my supervisor got the emergency OR today and the first patient were a transfer from the outpatient clinic because they were short staffed and it was a partial mastectomy with SNB and I got to do it all by myself, so! Confidence for the last exam okay again and panicking pushed to a small and obscure corner of my mind :D

And then! We got to do a unipolar hip replacement which is a very common procedure (and as a nurse I work in orthopedic rehab so I've taken care of more of those then I can count post-op) but I've only watched it done from afar a couple of years ago and now I got to get close up and dirty my hands with it! :D

Very good day indeed! ^w^
