Today began with presenting our case studies that we worked on yesterday, over the birth process.  Then we actually got some real lecture about some complications that can happen during birth.  And... that was pretty much it for the day.  Lecture, some case studies, and we finished up early.  So, the check-offs got started early, too.  

When I got down there, I got a really great instructor for my checkoff, and I had to do my Foley on a female.  I was sort of hoping I would get a male mannequin, just because the procedure is a little less complicated on a male, but it wasn't too bad.  In fact, I only missed 0.25 out of 10, so I really can't complain.  The only thing I didn't do was say that I visualized the site of entry.  I am really, really glad that is done!! 

Tomorrow I have off, now, so I will be spending the time working on some clinical paperwork as well as the cesarean delivery presentation I have with my partner!  My sweetheart is coming to visit me next week, and I want to make sure all my paperwork and stuff is done before, so I can just spend the weekend with him without anything hanging over my head.
