Man, if today isn't the most exciting day of clinicals, I don't know what is. I've drawn a single tube from a single patient. We've only had, like, 5 people come in in the first place, 3 of which were port draws that we don't do and one of which was a T&S that I'm not allowed to do, so it's not like I've just been seeing a bunch of people that I decided were too hard for me to stick.
On the bright side, at least all of this sitting here doing nothing counts as being here, so it's 8 more hours towards the 180 hour requirement. I mean, granted, I would have preferred that 8 hours be spent actually practicing sticking patients, but still. I guess I'll take it.
Literally the most exciting thing to happen today was getting to draw that single patient. It would have been getting to see how they do port draws, but it took 3 hours to finally get that guy (it was at around 11:00) and we haven't had any since.
