Busy day today. Kind of a depressing beginning to the day. It was med/surg theory, which is actually the lecture. In any case, it was on elder care and end-of-life care. It was made all the more somber by the fact that our professor just lost her husband about 19 months ago, and it was a very sensitive topic for her. But, she did really well with the information and, as unfortunate an experience as it was, she was able to provide some very good, first-hand experience from the perspective of a family member receiving care.
After lecture, the Dean of the School of Nursing brought in ice cream (apparently our school has a major that requires the students to make ice cream and cheese and stuff! Cool!!) and presented very briefly on the history of school. It was interesting to see how the school was founded and how it developed and how the nursing program emerged.
Then, I had lunch and went to one of the local hospital offices to do my training for their electronic medical record system. Thankfully, I was able to get a lot of training and preparation done for that the night before and didn't have to stay for the full four hours, but was done in two. Already, I feel exceptionally overwhelmed with so many things to do that I just don't even know where to begin!!
