FREEDOM!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay, so I haven't blogged in a while--sorry. I keep saying I'll try and do better, but I'm just SOOOO tired!

So here I am to catch you up on everything! Several big things--I got checked off on giving meds!!! Hooray! I don't have to stand around waiting for my instructor to listen to me read orders out loud and then watch me pull out my meds then go to the pt's room and watch me give them. She still checks before I go to the pt's room, but I do everything else without her.

When last I wrote, we had begun the CV (cardiovascular) unit. Now we've had our first test--and got it back today. I made an 88!!! Hooray again! I was a bit concerned about this test, but overall, as long as I passed, I was okay with whatever grade I got. I also turned in my last assessment paper for Nsg 1. What a sense of freedom. I was up until 2 am last night finishing it, but finally, I'm done with my papers. Now all I have left to do is one more unit test and the final. I think I can handle that. I tend to do pretty good on the tests.

Today in class, we covered dysrhythmias. Talk about overwhelmed. That was A LOT of information in a VERY short time period. I wasn't as prepared for class as I should've been since I was up last night working on my paper. I'll catch up over Thanksgiving.

Tomorrow's clinical patient is pretty boring--nothing too exciting. I'd really like to have a pt with some IM meds or SQ meds. Now that's my idea of a good time!

People are starting to drop out of class now. We stuck pretty constant all semester and now I think grades are falling and people are leaving. I'm interested to see how many we start Nsg 2 with.

Stay tuned....
