I think my brain has reached capacity!

So much information, so little space left in my brain! I have never felt this information-logged before! Wound care, charting, assessments, pain, and many more things that I have to retain! I don't mind that I have to keep up with it. It's just that there is so much, it is more difficult than normal to keep it all straight. I have been applying my knowledge of one thing to another. We're definitely building on our skills and having to incorporate them in the new things we learn, so that helps a little (that we're constantly reviewing).
I've had my first patient now. We went to the nursing home and just did a general assessment. I walked into my pt's room and went totally blank. All I could remember was that I had to take his VS. I had to leave and review my sheet, catch my breath and go back in. Everything went fine. My pt was cooperative and I made it through. Next time will be WAY easier though. I turned in my clinical paper today and won't know how I do until much later.

Good news: I made another 100 on a quiz. I love 100's. They make me feel a whole lot more encouraged! Also, my class also voted me class president (which really doesn't mean much!), so that was kinda cool.

Next week, we go back to the nursing home and do bed baths and bed making as well as an assessment. So, another patient--here I come!

Overall, things are going well--just busy!
