day 1 of 5 -

mothers advice - be compassionate.

this bites having to give up my spring break for clinicals. todays rotation did not go as bad as i had feared. i just have to be careful this week. have to come up with a treatment plan for a challenging pt. and i'm drawing a blank. thank goodness they are pretty cool and laidback. but i can't get used to the setting... i am not comfortable completely but i will make it thru. but my hats off to them, they are professionals and are doing good work.


these qualities are being honed in esp. this week @ this setting. i have so many thoughts on this the emotions are overwhelming. this rotation is emotionally challenging. it freaked me out, but those emotions are under control now.

amy said her rotation is hell on earth. i have to laugh, because it is. i'm glad i switched even if mine now is more emotionally tugging. she is bugging me to do the arthritis aquatics certification with her this weekend - but honestly leaning towards dallas trip. b/c my lack of any spring break or any break for that matter. she points out that the certification would position me in a better position for summer clinicals...which i can't deny is probably true. i'm just getting tired. need r&r. i am tired. aw shucks i am already giving up my spring break...now my saturday too?
