Events of Note: Day 1 of Clinical Rotations (CC1 Skills)
In the News: Hurricane Irene heads toward the U.S. East Coast.
Well, as my "Events of Note" sub-section notes, today was the beginning of my Clinical Rotations as a student MA. My Clinical site is at a rural health clinic, in an underserved area. Mostly, it was site orientation, although, I got to do some observing of clinical skills, and do some hands-on of my own, including preparing an injectable medication, and a bit of practice wrapping and autoclaving a surgical suture kit. I was given some supplies so that I could continue to practice and perfect my skills at home. My next day there will be September 7th, and in the interim, I have to study for my CC2 Pre-Clinical Exam, which co-incides with my first full week at my clinical site. I also need to work ahead in my full-time study workload as much as possible. I'm a little surprised by how tired I am tonight, but I think that the next couple of weeks are going to be particularly interesting and rewarding. I'll try to blog more regularly here during that time, as a way of, in very general terms, documenting how I'm finding clinical rotations to be.
