I'm excited for Clinicals this week!! =)
This week at University Hospital I'll be doing my intubation in the surgery department and ER rotations. I get to stand in for a few surgeries..... Some are open heart surgeries too!!! =) Guess what I get to do?! Inutbate and manage airways during the procedure (with a preceptor of course). I'm hoping to do as much intubations as I can. Once I get one intubation done I will move on to the next patient and so on. Depending on how many are scheduled of course. If there aren't many I get to stay back and watch a few surgeries. After all the surgeries are done, I head to the ER department and finish my day. =) I'm so excited. The only sad part is that it'll only be three days next week. I can't wait til I get my registered respiratory therapist license. I think I'm going to work here at University Hospital. But we'll see. I'm going to St. Tammany in Convington this summer. I hear it's a very nice hospital. Plus, I don't have to go through the Causway bridge cause I live in the east anyway. And also, I'll be going back to East Jefferson for Pulmonary Rehab for about a week also. I hope it'll be fun and not to boring. Oh yeah, I'll be at Tulane Hospital also for Neonatal ICU for about a week and do some more Pediatrics/ Neonatal ICU at Children's Hospital too. Full schedule for the Summer huh?! It'll be a very short summer since i'l be so busy.
It's only 10 weeks. AHHHHHH!!!!
It's my last semester of clinicals before I'll be practicing my license. Can you believe it?! I'm going to be an CRT! My first credentials behind my name. Possibly, I'll be adding more to it. I'm going to change that CRT into RRT. Then add a BS with it too!! Three credentials!! teehee.... But i'm just going to put RRT, BS. Yeah, I'm looking into some perfusionist schools after I graduate. Maybe I'll be moving out to Texas in a few years. There's a perfusion school over there. Or maybe I'll change my mind and specialize in something else. There's a possibility LSUHSC New Orleans will have a PA program for 2009 when I graduate. But there's very limited acceptance. So we'll see. I know that I want higher education, since I can do so much after I graduate. It's just.... I don't know what to do. So many choices and decisions to make.
*Big Breath* taking a step back. It's been a year. WOW!
Time sure flies..... update more later.
College has opened up alot of opportunities for me. Being in this program has changed my life. Because of it, there are endless opporunities for me to make a difference. When you get where you want to be, there's no other way but to keep on going Up. OMG, I'm growing up.

It's About Time
So, It took me a while. But I'm doing it. I'm deleting alot of my past relationship memoirs away. I'm not going to look at it. I'm just going rid of it all. I think I'm ready now. I'm going to be who I was before being with him again. Back to where I started I guess, very comfortable and not a care in the world. Just need to take care of myself and be happy. It's going to take me a while to finish getting rid of it all because so much of him has taken its place all around my room. I mean my life. So It's hard but I need to do it. I really NEED to. Maybe it'll make things easier for me, yeah. Let's see how it goes. I hope getting rid of all my past help me move forward even further away from him. and away from my past. Yeah. I took off his phone number form my phone months ago. and now I started with all my emails in my inboxes and sent messages. I need to take out all the pictures of him in all my albums and journals. I need to get rid of that picture album box he got me. And I think I'll send back that scrapbook like I say I would. You know what? I'll just throw it away. If he finds out I'm getting rid of his stuff. It'll hurt me too. So I'm just going to do it, No regrets. Just do it!!!! I don't need to keep my words to him anymore. I'm going to keep my First Love online journal though. I like it. So i'm goign to keep it. But all the more recent things I need to rid of it. All my saved messages and pictures off my computer. I need more space for new stuff.
Wow, I can't believe the more I delete stuff of him, the lighter it feels. A big relief, Like something heavy has lifted off my shoulders. I kinda feel better!! =) I'm going to continue this. And as time passes and I dont' notice things about him anymore, Things will naturally be okay again.
