This week I went to SPA on Thursday. That was interesting...I got to see what life would be like in the office setting. I liked it, but it's not for me. Today, I went to L&D...that was great!!! I thought I wanted to be a CRNA, until today. Now, I don't know. I really learned a lot today. I had a great nurse. She showed me many things. We had a 16 year old who had gained about 100 pounds during pregnancy and came in at 2am with high blood pressure, she was still at 3cm at 4pm. She had A LOT of pain medication. She had a PCA going and a bolus of pain medicaiton. The doctor came in a decided to do a section, so she got another huge bolus of pain medication because she was still having a lot of pain. After they got her on the table and thought they had the pain managed (she said that she only felt dull pressure), they cut her and she started screaming that she could feel it, so they finally had to put her completely under. The section was awesome and a 9lb 3oz baby girl was what she was carrying. I loved my experience today and will have to reevaluate where I want to go in my career. The only way to have made today any better was to see a vaginal birth...like someone with me in L&D did today...Kristen...love ya...mean it.
