Okay, so clearly I'm falling behind in my posting, but thankfully not behind with my homework and reading! So, Day 3 started out with Pathophysiology and concluded with more Health Assessment Lab. Overall, it was a good day; patho seems to go by very quickly, even though it is a *LOT* of information crammed into three hours. However, once again, I am very happy to have had it before and just have it reinforced again, to make sure it really sinks in.
And, Lab was awesome. I have a cool lab partner who is fun to work with. We did vitals on each other and started in on our health history assessment, so we basically know more about each other than we probably ever want to know. We didn't quite get to head and neck exam, which I am pretty excited for, actually; I really, really want to see the insides of someone's eyes and ears (just for the tympanic membrane; I don't have a weird fixation on ears, I promise). I'm less excited about seeing the inside of the nose and mouth.
BUT, I think what is most exciting is to get to see what I have been typing for a few years (as a transcriptionist). All the words and phrases will suddenly have more meaning to me because I will be seeing it firsthand. In any case, that is all I can really tell about day 3 -- I'm starting to get tired, so sleep just feels better and better each night. Hopefully, I can just keep up the pace. The school work is supposed to back off a smidge once we get through all the lab content, but it gets replaced by clinicals.
Speaking of which, I will be doing my clinicals in a VA hospital, which will be a great experience.
So, this time, I PROMISE I will be posting about today at some point tonight! Until then, continue having a great day, wherever you are!
Oh, and one more thing -- check out my new countdown clock (which you probably already noticed, especially because it's been there for a while). It counts down to my pinning, which is the graduation ceremony for nurses! ^_^ Happy! That time will start dropping off so fast here soon.
