Tales of a Nursing Student

So tomorrow is my final med skills practicum, including IV hookups, wound care, foley/straight catheters, and vital signs. Now, all of this sounds easy and I’ve done them over and over again in practice and at work, but I’m literally petrified. Everyone thats taken it so far has passed, which is a good sign, I’m just super nervous and I wish I wasn’t because I know ultimately I’ll be fine. 

On a side note, today I went to the head of my school literature department whom I’m her work student worker/slave (don’t get me wrong, I love her to pieces) and exclaimed how one of her teachers under her is basically screwing all of his nursing students over in a RELIGION class.. religion -_- .. we’re nursing students, we don’t care about who the cousin of abrahams mothers father is, really we don’t. Anyway, she explained to me how to outline the paper and atleast attempt to pass with a decent grade, hopefully it works.

The rest of today brings microbio “clean up” lab, leading to our microlab practicum on thursday… should be fabulous.

Thank God finals are almost here and over and I can finally relax for a few weeks during christmas break. But then theres pathopharm in the spring! wahoo! 

Time for some desperate housewives, and writing this fabulous religion paper.
