Sept. 26, 2011

After spending most of the day yesterday working on the concept map and care plans that I have to do for my clinical experiences, I realized I had some missing information from my patient for the first one, so I woke up extra early to go to the hospital to gather that last bit of information to put in and complete the first one.  Lucky for me, I didn't need as much time as I allotted, so I got a good parking spot at school and got to class plenty early, which is always nice!  And, today the lecture was really easy, just a few hours with a video.  It was the last really important lecture for health assessment, because it pulled together all the body systems into how to do a full head to toe assessment.  And yeah, there is a physical assessment examination that my partner and I are going to do this week on Friday.

Class was done at 1200, and they bumped up the open lab times.  We had originally signed up for 1600, but because they moved up the times, we got to go in at 1300.  My partner and I got there early and nobody else was waiting outside, and as people started to gather, we mentioned to some people that we would like an examination room to get the general layout and practice with a few things because we were the very first group to go in and do our exams.  A few people rolled their eyes, and there were a few groups who bolted right past us to the examination rooms.

I am frustrated about how rude people can be.  This was a competitive program to get into, but now that we are all in, I don't think we need to be competing with each other anymore.  It's not like we are graded on a curve.  But, the way I see it, what goes around comes around, and those people who were so inconsiderate will get their own.

My partner and I then were forced to going behind the curtains, which is a bit awkward, and after our hour was up in lab, the two groups in the examination rooms still hadn't come out.  I at least wanted an opportunity to adjust the exam table and to look at the wall-mounted ophthalmoscope and otoscope...  Oh well; we blocked out some open lab time on Wednesday, too, so hopefully we can get in for just 10 minutes or so then.
