Today I got to shadow a nurse in PACU (it's the place you go right after surgery). Even though it's not really my type of thing, I had fun and found it really interesting. I like how busy it is, and everyone there just seemed to have an overall good attitude, which is a great step above many nurses on the floor.
I got my schedule mostly figured out. Since I had to be at the PACU this morning, I didn't get to register before everyone else, so one of the classes I need to take is filled up. I am going to talk to the professor this afternoon before class, and I am sure she will let me in so I can stay on track. Next semester is going to suck balls. Speaking of balls...
One of the patients I saw today was a young guy who had an orchiectomy. Basically, he got on of his balls chopped off (poor guy). He was so funny though! It cracks me up to see the things people do under the influence of narcotics. He woke up, looked around, peeked under the blankets down there, and said, "Hrmph!", and promptly when back to sleep. I was cracking up on the inside. I guess he was pleased to see he stil had one left. I'm not really sure.
