Set it up, take it down. . .

Clinic was a riot today.  It totally felt like a Monday, but then got better as the day went on.  I absolutely love the people in my pod, we all mesh well together, (heaven forbid your shoes be made of such a thing!  That's one thing I've learned so far!) We were able to pass off our PPE process evaluation (which went well), and learn the new PE's that consisted of the setting-up and tearing-down of our unit.  We also had the pleasure of practicing on our partner, using the A/W syringe and different forms of suction.  It was nice to be able to learn what methods work better than others, and how to position your hands to make it more effective.  I really enjoyed using the Blue Boa, and I feel like I need a lot more experience using the HVE, because sometimes I sucked the life out of my partner's cheek.  Oops!  I love, however, that we are already getting "hands-on" experience, and learning for ourselves how to perform proper procedures.  Radiology lab went well today, and I was overall thrilled with my BWX.  I need to familiarize myself with some terms a little bit more, but overall, today was a successful [long] day!
