I didn’t want to sit in bed and feel like I was dying. I wanted to move on with my life.

I seriously cannot stand my clinic. I just can’t handle it anymore. It pains me to think about how incompetent they are. Yes, most of them are nice people, but when you’re taking care of sick people, you should only use the highest standard of care. If it’s not one thing, it’s another with them. I always think to myself about how unacceptable it would be for me to do those things when I was in nursing school. Like example, my blood always clots in the machine so I need a saline drip. They NEVER remember to do it. Back when I didn’t really understand dialysis, I didn’t know this so I never knew I had to remind them each and every time. And when they did forget, they’d have to redo ALL the tubing, which added another frickin 20 minutes to my time. They do a horrible job at changing my dressing and sometimes get pissed when I am picky as to how I want it. I am allergic to chloroprep and they insist I am not. I haven’t used it in about a month and my allergic reaction got better. They used it today and last time, and now I have broken out in a large, red, stingy, and itchy rash on my site. They seriously just make me want to cry half of the time. I really wish I could have just done dialysis at home. If you want something done right, do it yourself! Plus, I could be my own nurse! I was going to be anyway.
college
Well…I just finished my last final exam and that means…I’m officially done with college!!! And I did it while on dialysis!! Graduation next week
Very depressing that some of my friends are graduating from nursing school today. I’m very happy for them of course but this is one of the rare times that I am actually jealous of something.
