Last VA!!

Todayin was our last day at the VA hospital Salt Lake City. It's been over a month since I've been down there so I was a bit rusty but it was a great experience. My first patient had Hep. C. This disease is blood borne so I was a little nervous due to the fact that I deal with blood A TON!! He was SO nice and we had a great time. He wanted to be numb so I gave him 7 different injections which was really fun. I little nerve racking but I learned a lot! My afternoon patient was way super nice too. He was a little older and seemed quite lonely because all he wanted to do was talk to me. I really enjoyed the conversation we had. I did get a little distracted because he left without me getting a final scale check. OOPS!! My instructor wasn't too pleased with me but she handled it well. I was really grateful about that! I was also able to place some arestin for the first time, which is a local antibiotic. It was really fun and I really like arestin. I am SO HAPPY that today is our last day at the VA for now. It's been a great experience sometime but I'm excited to not be there for a while. :)
