Suction time....Poor Marcy :)

So today we learned two PE's...set up and break down...lots of information to take in for sure.  I hope I can remember everything along with the PPE PE we have to pass off today (which I am doing in 5 minutes)...

After that we had our first patient....one of my fellow hygiene students...Miss Marcy. We learned how to suction and use our air water syringe on a real live patient.  Good experience. I felt bad because when I used the HVE I kept on suctioning her poor cheek and occasional tounge ha ha. It was kinda hilarious though because when we both had the opportunity to suction each other with the HVE we started laughing and basically started drowning ourselves while laying down...priceless moment! ...The Blue Boa is still pretty cool though.

I think I am professional or semi professional now with my suctioning skills, but I look forward to mastering the skill with each time I practice it.  Practice makes perfect right?...I need and want to be perfect :)

Ok so I just passed off my second PE! I feel like I am on a roll and ahead of the game when it comes to the PE's...probably the only thing in the program right now I have a complete handle on ha ha. It's a good feeling.  Two more new ones to pass off, so hopefully I can do one or both on Wednesday.  Until Wednesday I am going to study, study, study and study some more! ...Sam
