Well, it is Thursday, which means it is my longest day of the week. Every Thursday for the rest of the semester I will be at St. Mary's Hospital for Older Adult Clinicals from about 6:30 am until 7 pm It is an odd/ kinda sad thing when you go into the hospital before the sun rises and then don't leave until after the sun sets. The only natural light I really saw all day was the little sunlight keeping in from my patient's window. I really do love clinicals and working in the hospital but it is just so slow on an older adult floor. It is nothing compared to the busyness of SLU Hospital. Like when I say a slow day, it was excruciating. The only thing really getting me through the day was counting the number of times the lullaby played over the loud speakers. Whenever a baby is born at St. Mary's they play a lullaby over the loud speakers. Today 6 babies were born in the 12 hours that we were there! I was so excited. By the time I finally make it home from clinicals I am thoroughly exhausted so I am not going to be able to write much. Although writing would probably be the one thing that I need right now. Since I can't go into great detail of the inner workings of my mind today, I will leave you with two songs that have been stuck in my head recently. So until tomorrow when I actually have time, here they are:
