Firsts

Today was...exciting.

I did my first pap smear.

I drew my first blood sample.

I did my first IV line (ok, so that one was on a simulation mannequin)


I volunteer at the low-income health clinic fairly regularly, but I never have the confidence/comfort level to volunteer to do any of the more procedural based activities (pap smears, blood draws, etc.). I don't really know what was different today, but I said yes whenever someone asked me if I wanted to try something new -- and it was awesome!
