Nursing school is hard. I dislike pre-planning, long classes, and not knowing what to do. Tests are amazingly difficult because you have to think differently...not the type of tests that I'm used to. Clinicals are terrifying, especially because you have to deal with someone's life. I'm just scared...of everything! :(
On the bright side, it's actually fun; especially when I get really cool patients! I just have to get past the initial terror of going into the hospital feeling unprepared. Clinical days are actually my only saving grace right now; my favorite day of the week (well...sort of, I actually like the days when I don't have any obligations except for studying). I guess it's not that bad. Only 2 1/2 more years left...
So we already finished all our skills that we can do! Patient care, vital signs, physical assessment, and administering meds. I gave oral meds the first day we could give them! It's actually a lot easier than what we did in skills lab. The week after (last week) I gave an SQ shot! It went surprisingly well...not as bad as I thought it would be! :D
Anyways, sorry that I'm not updating anymore. It's been really busy! I haven't baked anything in such a long time and I don't think I'll be able to until around Thanksgiving or after finals week! :(
