Week Three Month Six

Well, well, well. I did my drug presentation today and was glad to have it over. I didn't do a great job, but it was ok. I presented Ultram XR. An all day pain relief med. I do enjoy doing presentations and talking in front of a crowd. I guess, I am a show off!

The test on Monday went well. I got a 96 which is okay. I am feeling a bit off my game this week. I keep thinking that one day down and only two until clinicals again. I am just not looking forward to that. I will make the best of it and try to stay under the radar. What she has done to some of my classmates is not cool. I guess, (they keep saying) that we are supposed to talk to the Director of the PN program, but so far that hasn't happened. I don't like to say bad things about my school, but there are alot of areas they would really improve.

I like Pharmacology. It is really interesting to see how the different drugs do, their benefits, their side effects (which can be pretty scarey!). I guess, we really just have to weigh the benefits vs the effects when taking any drug. So far, I have been pretty lucky and not had too many of the side effects. Anyway. . . . .

Tomorrow we will do wound care! Yea!!!!!!!!!!! Today's lecture was about the Operative Patient. Intresting things, I can't wait to be hands on with all this stuff and not just in the nursing home. I wish we were in a more acute situation. Not that long term is bad, but I would love to see a bit faster pace. I am looking forward to seeing my patient this week. I will do my assesment and I must find a fingernail brush for her. . . .I almost forgot!

Till next time!
