Day 5

same old, same old: trach care and suctioning.

my preceptor is very impressed with my performance. he says i took to it very quickly. it's pretty basic. nursing home care i see much as i saw homecare, neccessary and important but a waste of my skills. i need something more challenging. i got to go 4 hours early today. 4 HOURS! while the good sam is an awesome place to learn things and has incredible staff and residence, i cannot learn enough there. i have not learnt enough. i will be talking to my clinical coordinator and expressing my concern over being placed there for 2 weeks. one is enough. it should only be one and then i should be able to switch with someone somewhere else. i feel i'm being ripped off. i paid for a more complete education than this. i worry i'm not leanring what i should and when it comes time for my post-rotation exam, i won't know dick. i'll have to say, "ya sorry, we don't do blood gases at the good same and we don't use sterile technique. we use clean technique." shitty.

i'm pretty angry over this and i did not think i was. it wasn't until i was driving home that it fully hit me, i could hear my heart pounding in my ears. grrr! well, i have this evening, so i'm going out.
