week 1 at the hospital

Last Monday, the day before my first externship day, I realized that I wasn’t nervous like everyone else in my class. That made me nervous. I just didn’t think there was anything to be frightened about. I figured that if thousands of other people can graduate school and become surgical technologists, then certainly I could, too! And, at the end of my first week, I still believe that. Everyone has been very helpful, very patient, and very kind ~ this really makes all the difference in the world when you're learning something new. I've seen some icky stuff, some boring stuff, and a lot of interesting stuff this past week. I'm looking forward to next week!
