I am now 2/3's of the way through this rotation and only have a little over a week left! This is very bitter sweet! I FINALLY got settled in this week and was comfortable giving IV injections, palpating and scanning the mares with the ultrasound machine, and now the rotation is ending! I assume this is why each rotation is set at a 3 week duration. The first week everyone is lost, by week 2 we get comfortable with our duties and the everyday routine and week three we are able to strengthen our skills.
Yesterday was another long but productive day. We scanned and bred mares in the morning and ultrasound cows in the afternoon to determine days bred. I got home around 5:30 and was in bed by eight. Everyone always said when you get to your clinical residency you sleep every chance you get. That has never been more apparent! Tonight I am on foal watch so it is gonna be a very long day night, but that is the nature of the beast!
Hi honey - told ya!! you are sooo awesome! I know that each rotation will be just as much fun and educational - but your first will always stand out - especially since you love that part of science. Rest and sleep while you can - or it will be a long long year. love you lots - p s watch out for those ticks!
