Check!

Tuesday was my second day of clinical. To say the least, it was a learning curve! We started out with bed baths. It's one thing doing it on a manikin, and another doing it on an actual person! Even though I was painfully slow, the patient was very understanding and not upset at all.
First bed bath? Check!
After I gave the bed bath (with the help of my wonderful partner who has been a health care aide, and guided me through the process:)...) my IA said that she wanted someone to help her give a different patient a shower. Since my partner has done that (because she's been a HCA) she said that I should go do it. So, I went with my IA and this patient to the shower room. My IA then proceeded to say, "Okay, so I'll get you set up and then I'll be back in a little while." Whoa! So, I then gave a shower. Just a note - we did NOT practice that in lab...that was a learning experience!
First shower given? Check!
Today I baked an apple pie. Yes, I finally did it! I haven't tried it yet, so I'm not exactly sure how it tastes, but I'm thinking it should be okay. I might have put a tad much sugar in, but I guess we'll find out. Better sweet than sour, right? It didn't even boil over on to my other pan, so I am quite happy about that! Even though I haven't tried it, I am bringing it to my friend's house for supper, and we WILL enjoy it:)
