When we moved here over a year ago, I never thought this day would come! I am very excited, but also very very nervous! And busy... we are SO NOT packed! We've done a few boxes here and there... but thats about it! Oops! I also am busy with finishing up school stuff... I had 2 presentations this week, and have a big test this Friday morning. The presentations both went well, one was on a group research project, the other was a community outreach group project.
The latter was much more fun because it was a summary of the last 6 weeks we spent going out into various parts of Omaha and teaching youth about different health topics.
(<-- community project)
My last 5 hours of ICU clinical were last night... it went so quick - my nurse was SO nice and helpful - and she let me try an IV start on my patient twice! The first attempt was very unsuccessful... his skin was extremely thick and leathery and it felt so weird sticking the needle in him... Even with her help, we could not get any blood return. I tried again higher up in his arm, and it went so smooth and perfect on the first try! Yay!
Back to the moving info.....
Everything is kind of up in the air, and only time will tell how life works out. As of right now, I am leaving Saturday and will fly into PDX.... Thankfully Jeremy's parents are nice enough to let me stay with them a few days in Forest Grove -- I start my hours at Providence the very next day, following my nurse for 8 hours and I am for sure at the hospital again Monday, Thursday, and Friday so it doesn't seem like I will be around their house or FG too much!
--> Yay for having 4th of July off though!
Jeremy's plan so far is to leave Monday morning with his mom, and a fully loaded u-haul with him. He is planning his drive to Oregon around a couple different breweries in Colorado, so who knows when they will get in... hopefully Weds?? At least by the weekend though! I will try to track his trip back across the country on here, but I have no idea how much free time I will have.
