up & up

So its the most beautiful day today. Clear and the sun is shining nice and bright. Not only is the sun shining it rose nice and early and won't set at 4:30. I think I love these longer days.
Monday has hit again and the week is off and running. I handed in my first of two papers for the semester. I actually enjoyed every minute I spent on this paper. It was about patient safety. Nurses and most health care providers accidently cause medical errors throughout their lifetime. Actually it is estimated that about 98,000 people in the US die each year directly from a medical error which may be wrong medications or dosages amoung other things. A resolution seems somewhat impossible for we are all human and make mistakes however it is important to be able to admit those mistakes and anonomously report them. This way the nurse needs to take responsibity but is able to report factors surrounding the error and can be reviewed and system can be revised to prevent mistakes from happening in the future. That was my view anyway so it was interesting.
I am working still at east man feeds and think hutterites are just great customers. Often funny and relaxed. As long as I know hog prices and long range forcasts I am in!!
WEll have a great week and I will update you on my new clinical placement later on!!
