What a Day!!!

So, guess what happens when you have a latex allergy and you touch a band aid and then your face? Yep, you guessed it! I puffed up like a blow fish and broke out in monster hives. Ms Nancy and Ms Leomi kept asking me if I was having trouble breathing (I was a smidge), but I just told them no. One of the other students in the other class was sent out for Benedryl for me and they had me take two, and man, I was out!!! I could barely keep my eyes open and I did fall asleep during our lunch break. I think that my latex sensitivity is getting worse. I am going to have to be extremely careful. I wonder, if there is a profolactic treatment for it?

This was a rough day. We had lecture and presentations. The hardest thing was that the Director of the PN program was supposed to come in to talk to us and we waited for over an hour and a half and she was a no show. However, she was in talking with our clinical instructor, so I don't know what came of that. I am really nervous about going to clinicals tomorrow.

I will fly under the radar as much as possible, keep my head down, complete my tasks, do my physical assesment and call it good. My care plan is done for tomorrow and I am so glad. This has not been an enjoyable clinical month. Rumor has it next month we have Ms Tish. I am really looking forward to her. I have heard she is really a great instructor and she will be our clinical instructor as well. I think we may be a few students short next month. There a couple who are pretty iffy about passing this month. Not me, I am still a 100% student! Go Me!

I have made some great friends in this class. I am so glad. We seem to really click and that so helps make the days go by fast and fun.
