Check-offs went well today. Of course, I had the professor. Yeah, that one. But, she wasn't so bad. I had to give my patient (a mannequin) one oral medication and one parenteral medication, which turned out to be Demerol (when I was expecting insulin because of the more complex procedure for drawing up two types of insulins in one syringe). Then, I had to go over the side effects of the medication, explain what it would do, and then chart that I administered the med.
Overall, not too bad. I got marked down 0.5 points for not cleaning the injection site. I'd rather mess that up here in check-offs than actually out in the field.
And now, off to go get ready for the party bus tonight! It should be interesting. One of the guys in class organized dinner and the bus for anybody in the class who wants to come. A great opportunity to see and interact with everyone outside of class.
