Oct. 12, 2011

The patho final was rough, but definitely doable.  I only had a few questions that I was unsure of and had to go back to.  It's probably the best test strategy I have: answer the questions I know, mark the ones I don't and come back to them later.  Then, try to reason why each answer is wrong, and if I can't reason an answer as wrong, it is more of a possibility that it is the correct answer.

In any case, it was such a relief to have that exam done.  It was the big one I was the most worried about, although I had a lot of leeway in terms of how many points I could miss and still maintain a good grade.

After the exam, I went home for lunch and then came back at 1300 for the presentations in Professional Nursing.  And, of course, we were next to last.  I would have had us go first, if I had a choice, just to be done with it.  The other presentations were really interesting, though.  One was about animal-assisted therapy, and another was about violence against nurses in the workplace.  Our presentation was about perceptions of nurses, both public perceptions (to include stereotypes) and perceptions by other health-care workers.  I feel we did really well, but I am happy to say that it's done.

Now, I would love to say that I came home and studied, but in all honesty, I came home and packed for my short trip to see my sweetheart :)  I did do a bit of studying, though, but for the final tomorrow in Communication, there really is only common-sense preparations to be made.

So, packed and ready to go, except for a few minor things that can be packed in the morning.  Wahooo!!
