Done!

It's been a long busy three weeks at the burn unit and last night was my last shift. Last night was particularly exciting when my vented, semi-sedated and extremely strong patient tried to flip over in bed. We had to call the hospitals Rapid Response Team to bring in the muscle and good drugs to help us manage the situation. Fortunately his tube didn't dislodge and besides us all being sore and extremely sweaty, it turned out fine.

I just wanted to quickly update that my preceptorship went really well and I had a great evaluation from my preceptors. Graduation is on! So right now I'm exhausted, hot and I have to go work my 19 hour shift in an even hotter part of town. Grrrr....
