9 Days And Counting!

I got 9 more days to go and I'll be on my way home for Thanksgiving! I'll get home late on the 18th and I can't wait. It's been a long time since I've really been home for a good break, and not just for a weekend. There's not too much for me to do until then; I have one project for my Preceptorship class due this week, and a Critical Care test next Wednesday. That, that's about it (Bubba from Forrest, Forrest Gu-ump).

My preceptorship project is a power point on aortic balloon pumps. What's that? Well, its a long thin balloon that is inserted in the leg, fed up the aorta all the way until it is resting close to the heart. The balloon blows up when the heart is relaxed, and deflates when the heart pumps. This basically allows the heart to rest a bit. Do you think just that will get me 15 slides?

Also, while I'm home, I'll be heading back to Johns Hopkins NICU! I am so excited to get my baby fix! It's so nice that they kept me on as an employee so I can work for them during my breaks.
