11-13:
My expectations for the first day of clinicals was to walk in and immediately hit the ground running. I didn’t expect to start off with the most tedious assignments but I did expect us to have a variety of smaller assignments. Going into clinicals I was definitely nervous that I would mess up. I was also prepared to encounter situations that I would classify “Mrs. Edwards situation.” I was surprised near the end of our day that we really didn’t have much else to do. I know other days we’ll be scrambling to get everything done in four and a half hours but I wish I could’ve possibly done more today. I felt like my interactions with the patients went very well. The only difficulty I seem to be having is understanding some of the residents.
