I've had a pretty rough week where everything just seems to be going wrong. Huge misunderstanding and hurt feelings with friends, missed a patho review, my stupid Micro teacher hates me, so I just figured what could get worse?
Well, luckily, there have been some positive notes this week. We had hospital simulation where we had to perform a subcutaneous injection in our lil built in practice hospital. It is completely nerve wrecking because you have an instructor watching you looking for things that you screwed up on. Luckily, even though I was nervous as heck and was shaking like an adult toy, I managed to do pretty well with no screw ups. =)
I got a B on my nursing roles exam, and clinical today went pretty well. We had a substitute instructor because our instructor was going out of town. I was a bit nervous, because I wasn't sure how this instructor would be with us, but luckily I found her to be very helpful. She did keep us on the floor longer than our normal instructor does, but she really tried to make sure we had something we could do. I hate sitting around at the nursing station when things get slow.
I was even able to decline giving a medication because a patient's lab value's made it appear dangerous to give her the medication. So that was pretty awesome. I am currently trying to fight sleeping but I am absolutely exhausted right now.....so I am considering giving in. I am cold and we brought out our nice warm and fuzzy winter blanket and I puffy heart getting under that thing!!
