Thank goodness!! Not that our Psych rotation isn't interesting, but its just not for me. I used to be a Psych major before I decided I wanted to go to nursing school, and there is a reason I got out of it. I am just not cut out for structured conversations and analyzing every single word my patients say. I like being hands-on, and making my patients as comfortable as I can. Plus this class was full of busy work, I felt like clinicals were a breeze because you didn't really have to do much. Just sit and observe, have a short conversation with your patient, and comb their chart for any information you need to do your assignments. It wasn't enough of a challenge for me, I guess. I got a B though in clinical, and an A in lecture....so I'm happy.
So I start Med Surg this next week, and while its a scary class to start, I'm excited because it will definitely be challenging! I heard we aren't learning a lot of skills in this rotation, just priming IV lines and bedside blood glucose test. Which is a bit disappointing because I feel we could learn so much more, BUT, if this means I will pass my class easier....than so be it!
So today I am getting my hair did. I am trying to grow my hair out, and as a way to tempt me to leave my length alone, I'm gonna get some highlights put in. I am so extremely nervous, because I have no idea how it is going to turn out!! But the lady I'm seeing today works on 3 of my co-worker's hair, so I'm trying to have faith, lol. Then I have a volunteer event tomorrow night where we are making dinner for women and children at a crisis center, and setting up a crafty thing for them to do. I am always game for volunteering, as long as I have the time for it. I also have a lot of studying I need to do to prepare for Med Surg and a midterm for Pharm. Such is the life of a nursing student! :)
