WOW! I can't believe that it is already June 14th. I feel like this all just started. A lot has happened since I last posted. We are nowhere near getting to the fun part. That starts next month with the start of clinicals. Anyway, we have had a couple of labs. I really enjoy them. It is great getting to actually do things. The first lab we learned basic things like bed-making, bedpans, and giving baths. I am an expert at this already because of my years of being a nursing assistant. But I have learned how to proficiently perform vital signs AND how to perform a catheter insertion. Don't worry...we use dummies for practice. This has been fun getting to do hands-on things.
We had our first test last Tuesday in Pharmacology. I felt really prepared going into the test, however, my outcome was definitely NOT what I wanted. After a little breakdown and some really good encouraging from family and friends, I put it behind me. I am going to ace the next one!
My days are filled with reading and listening to lectures. Occasionally, I plan some fun. I did get to go to Shreveport, LA to watch my brother, Payton, play baseball. It was great because my family was there. This time was much needed but not long enough.
This week is a really rough week. I have an Adult Health Care test tomorrow. Then, I have to start studying for my 4...yes FOUR, tests next week. It is crazy! My schedule for this week is no fun, only study. Actually, I think I did plan about four hours of rest for Saturday night. Other than that, my face will be in those books. With that said, it seems as though it is time for me to start studying again. I am going to rock that test tomorrow...ha, let's hope!
