Say WHAT?1?!?!

I somehow managed an A on my test from Tuesday. *Confused Face*

I read ONE chapter out of like 8, I did a seriously pathetic and loser-ish amount of studying. How did I pull an A?

I am not complaining, honestly, but I just do not see how this is possible. This isn't some dumb Micro test that is easy to blow off and still pass. It's a nursing test. I just don't know how this could be possible. I deserved to get a bad score, because I didn't put in the time.

Ok, so now that I got that over with...........WOOO-FREAKING-HOOO!! *happy dance*

So, today was my 3rd clinical day. I remember my anti-freak out pills, and my day went much better. My patient was great, didn't have any major problems, was very low maintenance. I was able to run through my head to do assessment like a pro, no nerves at all about it. I found my patient's apical pulse. I even was able to get most of my holisitic assessment done. I really enjoyed speaking with this patient. She made my day do-able.

I should also mention that I only had 3 hours of sleep last night. I was trying to complete my holistic assessment from last week, and I did NOT realize how time-consuming it was. I have definitely learned my lesson about waiting til the last minute to work on these holistics.

So I was really worried that I would suck today due to exhaustion, but I managed to really pull through and keep on trucking. I was disappointed that I didn't get to do a subcutaneous injection because my nurse's patient that needed one was going for a procedure so he was NPO, so that meant no insulin. =(

I don't like standing around doing paperwork for my assessments. It just seemed like every time I asked my nurse, or the techs, or my patient if they needed anything or help with anything, they just kept saying no. I was really disappointed in the lack of things I got to do today. So, hopefully since I did a pretty good job getting another holistic done, maybe I can just stalk my nurse and force her to show me things!!!

So, I took a long, LONG nap after clinicals today, and I don't even feel guilty about it at all. So I was able to have a nice grocery date with Mikey, and we have just been relaxing in our pj's, watching The Office and Say Yes to the Dress. =) Makes for a nice night!
