Wow, I can't believe I'm already in week three. That means I officially head to my clinical site in TWO weeks!!! OMG! Today was good, had my first test in theory and I got an A. Yay me:D I missed three questions, one of which I don't even remember covering so I just guessed, and two of which I felt like slapping myself in the face for missing once ( Read more... )

Today we learned about NG (Naso Gastric) tube feedings. This was pretty cool but also as with everything there are a TON of steps to remember. Wanna go through them all? Ok:P When you first walk into the room you want to make sure you have the right patient. Match the name AND the number on the ID bracelet with the name AND number in the chart. Go ( Read more... )

I did not sleep well last night. For some reason I kept waking up every 2 hours thinking that the alarm hadn't gone off and I was late for school. I even dreamed that Chris didn't set the alarm and we got in a fight over it. So, needless to say I was EXHAUSTED today. Pretty much the entire day was spent fighting gravity on my eyelids. The only time ( Read more... )

Day one of week two is done. I was a little worried that I'm not as far in my readings as I should be but then in class today it appears that I'm actually one of the farthest ahead in my readings. That helped calm some anxieties. I'm still stressing about Pharmacology. Simple, simple math and yet it makes me panic. Chris told me to buy a white ( Read more... )

Whee, my first week of nursing school comes to an end. Today we did vitals, and vitals and more vitals. I like vitals! I love my cute purple stethescope...although I saw a baby blue one at the store that I could just die for! I'm pretty good at vitals...of course they aren't exactly rocket science. I do have trouble finding the brachial pulse but ( Read more... )

Really...who knew? Today was day one of clinical practice (we don't actually go to our clinical facilities until week 5) and I'm happy to report I got a full night's sleep and I was much more productive today and in a much better mood. I think we spent about 3 hours of class today making beds. And you know what? I still need practice! Seriously, it ( Read more... )

So it's been quite a while since I visited livejournal, but today was my first day of nursing school and I figured maybe I should document my days, both to chart my progress and also as an outlet so I don't bombard my boyfriend with every detail of what I can assume will be long, hard, tedious days for the next two years. So FYI this will probably ( Read more... )

Argh!!! It's not August yet!!! Every day my constant thoughts are wrapped around moving. Pretty much any thought I have goes something like this "Ladeeda, I need to get into the shower *house*, oh and I should get some food *house, house, house*, hrm what's on tv *house, house, house, house*" Sigh, It's a very frustrating way to live!!! Must learn ( Read more... )
