What does it mean!!??

Ok, so I had my pathophysiology class today. The teacher is super high energy and awesome. She even made the most hilarious reference. There is this video a guy made about seeing a double rainbow,  that has gone totally viral  and even been featured on cnn. He is clearly high on something and keeps saying "its soo beautiful, but what does it mean?" and crying and stuff and is soo funny.

So my teacher said she wants us to challenge ourselves and not just regurgitate textbook answers but really think about how to apply concepts and be able to come at them from more than one direction. To be able to understand more than their definition. She then said she hopes that we have moments like this "BUT, what does it mean??" she emphasized while staring intently at the projector screen (perfectly mimicking the video) and then sniffled before cracking up and telling us if we haven't seen it go see it. It was soo funny, I was majorly disappointed that I didn't record the lecture as it was a priceless moment.

So needless to say, I think she will be pretty cool and never boring early Friday mornings. Also, here is the video in case you want to check it out.

New semester, new blog

Out with the old posts in with the new. Its a new semester, a new attempt and the same old sidekick ruby.

I had my clinical orientation, it was pretty sweet. I think I am going to learn a whole bunch there and am really excited about all the different things I am going to do. I am on a medical surgical floor. One portion of the floor is dedicated to chemothearpy patients, which I think will be really interesting. I will also get to shadow/participate with nurses from the operating room, emergency room, burn unit, iv team, gastrointestinal team, wound care nurse, in addition to daily medical surgical stuff. Sweet. My teacher seems pretty awesome too. Getting up at 5 am was awful though, too early.
