Hoag Memorial Presbyterian Hospital




Here are some pictures of the hospital I was assigned to for my clinical assignment. With any luck, I will be hired on when I'm finished with school. Seriously, this hospital is right near the beach and every patient room has a gorgeous view!!

Second Semester

I'm into my 5th week of school in my second semester of the Radiology Technology program at Cypress College. I am wiped out on a daily basis this semester - so far. My schedule is very busy and the clinical hours are tough some days. Add that to the fact that everyone is watching your every move and comparing you to your classmates, adds more stress to the situation for me. I'm doing well though. I have great reviews from the clinical supervisor and I hear rumors from others too that I am doing very well. This is good and boosts my confidence also. Studying for classes has been fairly easy so far. We are about to have our first competency for the GI system - crossing fingers that it won't be too bad. Next up is the skull -- OH HOW I AM NOT LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT! I wonder if the regular Joe knows just how many bones there are in the human skull? So, it's going to get worse but when we get through that the rest should be a piece of cake! I'll have one more week break before I start my internship in June then I'll be an indentured servant for 1.5 years.
