the stress of clinicals

Okay so the stress of clinicals is starting to get to me. But i have to tell you i love my patients...it kills me to leave on Tuesday and come back the following Monday and see three of my eight patients gone. they went home becuase i work in the acute ward and really don't get to keep them more than 6-10 weeks. i have one new patient which gave me a totaly of only 5 so they felt that i did not have enough patients so they gave me 4 more. im exhausted and some of those people really need to stop pusing their call button every two minuets (literally). Lisa called today and we got to talk and i loved it she has been on my mind for almost a week and it started to really bug me. we talked about everything. It was so nice to hear from good friends. be back soon.
