Clinical

We had another day of clinical today. These days last forever. I get up at 5:30 in order to leave my house by 6:15, which never happens....it's more like 6:30. Then we all sit in pre-conference, which we all decided has no purpose but to allow us some time to wake up. Then for the next 5 hours we wander around, pretending we know what's going on, and doing half hearted assessments on our patients. The mornings go really slowing. Although today I got to give 2 pills (my first time giving meds ever!), and watch a bunch of guys get their nails painted. I got to hear this funny conversation the activity aid had with a more alert resident.
Resident: "I'm not getting my nails painted. What will these student Dr's think about all these men with their nails painted?"
Activity Aid: "They'll just think you're all nice men."
Resident: "No, they'll think we all need to have our meds adjusted!"
And after 5 hours of wandering, we sit in post conference and talk about everything under the sun that has no relation to what we're supposed to be talking about. And if post conference doesn't take up all time until we get to leave, we talk about more stuff that doesn't relate.

And that's what my Tuesdays are like.

Spring break is over :-(

It's the first day back to school, and it's a cold, rainy, very blah day. I'm cold and tired, and I just want to go back to bed and not study for my test this afternoon. I'm kinda in a complaining mood. I think there's only 8 more weeks of school. That seems like a really long time.

Spring break...

Is the time when nursing students finally get around to doing things that most people take for granted getting to do on a regular basis. Some of these include:
*Shaving my legs
*Plucking my eyebrows
*Washing my sheets
*Making my bed
*Actually putting my pillows on my bed
*Doing my hair dry for about the first time since school started
*Eating lunch

It's going to be a wonderful week!

Stuff

Spring break is right around the corner and it can't come soon enough for me. I took a test I hadn't studied for yesterday, and I'm going to take one I'll have hardly studied for tomorrow. Fun times. I heard that once you get married, you just don't study as much and take a drop in grades. I kinda laughed when I heard that. If I study less when I'm married than I do now, that's pretty much not studying at all.

I really don't have anything to say. My family left this morning to go to Indiana till Friday, so I'm left home alone with strict instructions that the thermostat is not be set above 70 degrees. :D But if I do turn it up, they'll never know, now will they? Hehe............
