Today at clinicals I felt more comfortable and confident about the choices I made. I did my best to communicate with the CNAs with respect but assertively. They reported to me about my assigned paitent and I had no problems doing any of my paperwork and my assesment on her. That leaves all of tomorrow to evaluate my care plan and see what other things I can get checked off my skills list.

I also met 2 new friends...a girl in my clincals who is also a single young black mother, is moving in about 2 blocks away from me. We are getting to talk to each other more and more. We have been through alot of the same things. Its easy to talk to her, because she knows how hard things are but at the same time, she has her head on straight. So I'm gonna enjoy having a new friend I can kick it with. The other friend is too new to talk about. Not sure where I stand on that one, but its fun getting to know them all the same.
