We had our first assessment today! It was great fun as we weren't graded or anything, just had to turn up and do it and we passed. The assessment was hand-washing and sterile gloving so it was nice and easy as far as the assessments go. We had to rub some stuff (can't remember what it was called) on our hands first, let it dry, then go and wash them following procedure. We then went into this dark room and had a UV light shone on our hands which showed up white on any bits we had missed. I thought the stuff would be really cool if you were going to a dance party or something so you could paint crazy patterns on your body which would reflect the UV light! Hehehehe. Then we were shown how to put on sterile gloves which was a bit awkward but I'm sure will become second nature very quickly.
OK well lots more work today now so thank goodness I have the afternoon off :)

Before you know it you'll be able to put them on with your eyes closed! Same with taking BP etc, it all becomes second nature so quickly.
Yeah, I brought my gloves home to practice on so i keep refolding them and pretending they are still sterile and that my hands are uber clean, lol.
Would be good to practice with ones my size but they had run out so they are a bit big :)
Hey there... you know it's funny as I see you commenting on Kate's journal all the time but it was only when I saw you comment on Lil's that I went duh, you probably have a blog?!
I think my brain is slowing melting away. :0
Anyway, I just wanted to pop over and say hi and your handwashing assignment sounds like fun!
