Oct. 24, 2011

Sooo, today was interesting.  I was supposed to wake up at 0600 or so for class at 0800.  Oh no.  My alarm didn't go off at 0600, and I didn't wake up until 0815.  Yeah, that made for an interesting morning.  Did I mention there was a quiz?  Yeah.  I e-mailed my professor to ask about how I would make up the quiz and that I would be there in about 20 minutes.  I threw on clothes and rushed in to class.  And, lucky for me, they did a bit of review before the quiz, so I made it in time!  Come to find out, I set my alarm to go off at 1800.  Yeah, I never do that on days that aren't important.  Only on days with a quiz or presentation or something.  Because I'm special like that, haha.

After being exceptionally grateful for not missing the community health quiz, which was challenging, we had to do a group quiz and then activity with our clinical groups. We had to do a presentation on the National Health Objectives.  I have nothing against presentations, but this is just one of about 10 that it seems we have to do for this class.  And this was just an impromptu 10-minute one.  Good grief.

I spent my lunch hour reviewing the IV administration videos, because that was the quiz for med/surg lab.  The quiz was much easier than before, mostly because of less content to cover.  Then, we began practicing starting an IV.  Scaaarrrryyyy!!!!!!!!!!  Not really, but still a little nerve-wracking.

Once again, I am not fast enough to get in for open lab, but I am signed up for 10-26 and 11-03.  Plus, I got my IV simulator time on 10-26.  Apparently, this is a computer program that we have to navigate to simulate putting in an IV, which should be interesting.  But, Wednesday is going to be a very long day.  I will be at school until 2000.
