How's everyone doing on extern?! :-)

Hey!! I hope everyone is doing good and learning lots on extern! :-) lol I definitely am! I LOVE my extern here in Boise. It's been soooo hot here the past week (like 106 degrees) but I think I'm finally getting used to this hot weather. Lol I have been on extern for 1 month and have learned soooo much its crazy! I have been involved with bubble studies, difinity, TEE, pediatric echoes, ICU, CCU, 2 code blue cases, and last Tuesday I went into the cath lab and watched an ASD closure. It was AMAZING! :-) I am now scanning inpatients and outpatients and my CI checks my work after I am finished! I feel like I've already learned so much. Also, last Thursday I got to scan my first pediatric echoes in the NICU. A 2 day old baby (with PS) and an 8 hr. baby (with an esophageal hernia). I LOVED scanning the babies! They were adorable lol well I better get going! talk to ya guys soon!
