I had my first day of clinical today. We are on the cardiac floor this semester. They aren’t doing a true preceptorship this time. Instead, it’s like all of our past semesters where we are in small groups and follow a different nurse each day. My group seems pretty nice and the staff was very friendly. Looking forward to seeing what I can learn on this floor.

Well, I was supposed to have clinical today…but…I cancelled it.
I have been so worn out lately, it’s been hard to focus. My preceptor wasn’t working this weekend anyway, so I used that as an excuse to not go.
I’m not in any trouble, but now I have to make up those 12 hours somehow in my already busy schedule. Oh well.

Two big things to talk about today.
First, clinical went really well yesterday but I-am-beat. I didn’t realize how much a 12 hour shift would take out of me. What really bothered me was the fact that it was dark when I went in and dark when I was headed home. Blah. Other than that though, it was great! My nurse was covering triage, which I think was a great first day experience. Also, I never knew L&D had it’s own triage. Haha
Second, I’ve had to make drastic changes to my schedule. This semester is taking a lot of my time and I just can’t work as much as I have been. So now I’m only working 3 days a week, or 5 shifts. Sucks money wise, but if I don’t pass this semester it doesn’t matter.
