I haven't posted in a while and have some news to share. It's somewhat bitter-sweet in that I won't be volunteering at the Wildlife Rescue, at least for a while. I'm in school and will be a Certified Phlebotomist by next spring. There are many books and lot's of studying, so my time is filled right now with school and my intention is to make A's! I got a 96% on my first test yesterday and 100% on my test today, so I'm on-track! I hope to be working with children and infants by next year. Most people don't or can't stick needles in kids and that's understandable, but someone has to do it and that someone is going to be me. It's funny because my very favorite toy when I was a kid was a fake hypodermic needle that had a spring-loaded needle that had the illusion of penetrating the skin and somehow the cylinder looked like it filled with red blood. I took blood from my brothers and sisters and gave them shots! I hope to be able to have a calming affect and I want to learn to be quick ~ I see that that is the secret to as painless a procedure as possible for everyone, but most especially for kids. You'd think that we would have come farther than having to stick needles into the skin, but that is what is for now, so we'll make the best of it. I'll try to visit the Wildlife Rescue and take photos from time to time to post here. That's it for now.
