OMG!! I Can't Believe It!!!!

Just so you know, OMG + oh my goodness! I am so glad we had our "day in court" today. I just hope that it makes a difference for the next class! I feel better to have voiced my opinion, so much for keeping a low profile and flying under the radar! I hate feeling like a snitch, but sometimes you just have to do what you just have to do! Anyway, it's over and I'm glad, however, I will have another new Fundies Clinical Instructor next month!

Next weeks schedule goes like this: Monday, Exam over FNS chapters 27 & 31, Pharmacology chapters from third week, it's like 6. All about drugs, drugs, drugs. No, it isn't a fun thing to have to remember. I expect, however, if I had been a bit more diligent about completing my drug cards, they could have been a big help. (Duh, you think?) I am just tooooo tired. This seems to be the same affliction that a number of my classmates are going through as well! Enough crying on your shoulder!

On a happy note, I received a 100% on my Quiz today! I learned some math, thanks to my classmates, Shelly and Amy. Had a run in with another classmate. You know, don't rush the instructor when class goes until 4 pm and you have to leave early for, oh let's see, what's the excuse this time? I have just got to let this crap roll off my back. I pretty much just concentrate on the issues at hand and that is to pass all my classes and be on my way to a great career as a nurse.

I have learned that if you show your patients that you really do care, and I do, that things seem to go much smoother for you and your patients feel on top of the world. I try to make my patient feel like she is the only resident in the nursing home and that really doesn't take much effort. What satisfaction I feel, when I give her a back rub, foot massage, hand massage or just listen to what she has to say and I can tell that I have made her feel special and important. I try not to think of her as a patient but as a resident. Even though she is in a nursing home, that is her home!!! Many tell me I will be a good nurse and you know what? I am starting to believe it too!!!
