School...

This week I have been very busy!! I went to dialysis clinical on Monday and it was a lot of fun!! Some great nurses work there and were so willing to teach me!  I have also had to write a 20 page care plan and a written report that had to be at least 7 pages long! Maylies birthday was over the weekend so I was very BUSY!! Tomorrow I have clinicals again at the hospital! I'm supposed to be in L&D so I hope it works out! I want to go in on a c-section!! All my assignments are completed this week so I'm actually ahead for a second!  

School nurse rotation

Today I was asked to help the school nurses Shelly and Jamie do eye screenings on the entire kindergarten through 7th grade Monroe school.  It was a lot of fun.  Some of the kids are pretty funny wanting me to know everything about them including what they are for breakfast and what their animals names are! I love kids but could never teach them!

Pharm test #1

BOMBED IT!! Not good! I am so bummed.  Hopefully the teacher will recorrect it since more than half was select all that apply. There were 103 question!!! BIG test! Still passing the course but..... DAMN!

1st clinical

1st day of clinicals at the hospital.  Was going well, I had a patient with a chest tube and a centeral line. Did a blood draw from the line! THEN..... Some idiot called in a bomb threat, because he missed his daughter being born! It was a scheduled c-section! How do you miss a scheduled c-section?? So... We went to a conference on elderly abuse, then to lunch at Chinese and were then able to go back and finish at the hospital!! Turned out ok!! 

Test #1

Went into the testing center not feeling great about the test I was about to take.  Came out with a 76% yikes! Hoping he will curve it somehow and I can get at least a 78! Pretty bummed! Try harder next time! I have to pass!!! Clinicals start on Thursday. Oh boy!!

Another one bites the dust!

Whew! Another week down! My first TEST is next Monday and ahhhhhhh I'm never going to be ready! I did pass my math test that had to be passed with 100% yea!! The first test is all about maternity and lots of cardiac! I THINK I CAN, I THINK I CAN!! 

Another week down!

I keep telling myself that I have to make it to the next holiday. It keeps me going!! I have been crazy busy with tons of assignments and the first test in bed surg will be next week on Monday. It's all about ekg strips and I am STRESSED!!!! I can not make my brain figure them out... I know what a normal strip looks like and I can tell when it's not normal but other than that I'm LOST!! Hope I can just pass!!

 We had our annual family reunion yesterday and it is always a great time! A time to relax in the wilderness at fishlike! With family!

 Maylie has a birthday coming soon! I have it all planned in my head but getting it to actually go smooth will be interesting! I hope it works! Need to get the invites ordered ASAP! 

 Tay starts swim team next week and I hope he enjoys it.  It will get him in the best shape!! Hard work!

Horrible no good day!

Today was HORRIBLE!! We talked about EKG strips today and I am so lost! Also, the dumb math test we had I missed two.... One was such a dumb mistake! Convert 2.5mg to grams. I moved the decimal left instead of right.... Grrrrrr! 

Then, for an assignment, I found out I have "HIV"! Great!! More busy work! We have to write a journal every week concerning our disease.  This week is 2 pages of "how I felt when I found out I have HIV!" Plus everything else to do. I've decided I really need to get a better attitude! I am really trying to keep everything organized with due dates etc. but I am OVERWHELMED! 

So my plan is: 

one day at a time!! 

Get everything done on time. 

It all has to be done so why fight it?!
