good start to the week

Parenteral medication lab on monday, aka sticking people with needles! It was short but surprisingly satisfying. We got to inject normal saline into the deltoid (intra muscular) and the posterior upper arm (subcutaneous). I can't wait to do more of the hands on work once I finish Corps school. Speaking of finishing Corps school, today we secured Test 11, which means only one more test to go before HM clinicals (not thinking about dental training right now). Test 11 is feared throughout the school as the corpsman killer because so many people fail. The class before us had 13 or so failures, but our class rocked the hell out of it! I got my 4th 100% of school, and we had almost a 90% average as a class. Overrated test to say the least.

Good lab, perfect test, Cowboys at 1-7. Good start to the week! This Thursday we have off because of Veterans Day, which means we only have Wednesday, Friday and Monday to learn Test 12 material before we test on the 16th. So close to the end.. of the beginning. Anyway, I'm excited and pumped to be almost finish testing and start HM clinicals, hopefully I'll get assigned to Red Rover back at RTC and get to stick recruits all day. Obviously still no word on orders yet, that won't come until dental.
