School.
In January, I completed my Applied Research class for nursing, and began clinicals. This semester's clinicals are the easiest so far. It's community health, and my assignment is more like parish nursing. I'm visiting older adults in their homes—mainly just visiting—but using my nursing eyes to assess them as they talk through doctors appointments, falls, medications, feelings of weakness, or exhibit loss of balance, depression, memory difficulties, etc. My two professors this semester are wonderful. In addition to being hilarious and the best of friends with each other, they bring such insight to the content they teach and a unique style of teaching.
My favorite thing about them right now though? Is that they are protective of me and these babies! They are committed to seeing me through this semester and having me graduate while still having three healthy little babies. I've been able to work ahead a bit on assignments, and they've been working with my clinical hours to make sure I can get them in without stress on my body. Furthermore, there's a hospital bed (ironically, a labor and delivery bed!) in our classroom! Gotta love nursing school! Anyway, I truly am on bed rest—while in class! Hilarious. :) A little embarrassing at first! But everyone's used to it now, I'm in the back, and it's just one more way I can help protect and nurture these little ones.
