This week I worked back in Infusion with the other nurses and rotated in between and worked in Cardio Rehab with Alyssa and Shannon. I've worked in Infusion multiple times and all I get to do is take vitals and talk to the patients. I sometimes do get a tad bit bored working in Infusion due to the fact that I cannot do much in that department; however, I love talking to the patients there and distracting them from their treatment and the reason they're there. I do learn a bit of information from some nurses there. One nurse broke down the disease Multiple Sclerosis to me and how it affects a person's ability to perform basic motor actions and sometimes affects your vision. I also learned about people that have week immune system which in result causes them to get sicker a lot quicker and easier than the average human being. It's extremely interesting learning about all these diseases and how people with them are treated for them. I enjoy working in Cardio Rehab because Alyssa, a woman who works in that department (not sure what her job title is), teaches me a great deal of information when it comes to reading an EKG (electro cardio gram) test and what is an average person's EKG and what is a person who has had a stroke or heart attack before EKG. I also got to accurately get a person's blood pressure visually rather than taking my stethoscope out and hearing for those thumps and stuff. I felt good about that because that shows that I am improving when it comes to taking blood pressure and may soon become a master in it (hopefully)! I must admit that "sleeping in new bed sheets" or even freshly washed bed sheets feels extremely awesome! After a long day of work or school or both, I love coming home and showering and getting into my warm, comfy bed and getting either a good nap or good nights sleep. It's almost as if I'm sleeping on a cloud sometimes when I sleep on those fresh sheets. I sometimes, too, put my comforter or a blanket in the dryer so I can sleep under a nice, hot blanket on a cold night. That's the best feeling ever. I think I'm going to use this awesome in the future when it comes to college and medical school; I know I'm going to be having a lot of long nights of studying or more and getting into those freshly washed or brand new sheets will be the reward or prize for all my hard work.

Clothes out of the dryer are pretty fantastic! I always like cuddling in a freshly washed blanket and smelling that amazing scent.
